Abstract:
A pocket orthodontic bonding pad for attaching orthodontic attachments to teeth wherein the orthodontic attachment is mechanically secured within a bonding pad pocket with a design that allows a slight buffering flexibility under masticatory stress and ease of removal of the orthodontic attachment. Upon removal of locking tabs the orthodontic attachment may be removed with minimal force, and the remaining bonding pad polished from the teeth with ease, which is most advantageous for brackets that tend to break upon removal and create high stress forces upon tooth structure. The ease of removing orthodontic attachments allows maximum bonding strengths.

Claim (Index 1):
A pocket orthodontic bonding pad, comprising:\n a four-sided pad with a top occlusal side, a bottom gingival side, left and right sides, a front and a back and retentive aspects, wherein the retentive aspects are attached on three of the top occlusal side, the left side, the bottom gingival side, and the right side of the four-sided pad, such that one of the top occlusal side, the left side, the bottom gingival side, and the right side is a side to which no retentive aspect is attached, and the retentive aspects can receive an orthodontic attachment; a protruding surface located on one of the top occlusal side, the left side, the bottom gingival side, or the right side of the four-sided pad, the location of the protruding surface being on the side to which no retentive aspect is attached, being the side to which the protruding surface is attached, wherein the protruding surface encloses the side to which the protruding surface is attached such as to prevent removal of a base of an orthodontic attachment from the retentive aspects during orthodontic treatment, the removal of the protruding surface peimitting the base of the orthodontic attachment to be removed from the pocket orthodontic bonding pad with minimal pressure, and the more that the protruding surface encloses the top occlusal side the greater the force that must be applied to remove the orthodontic attachment; a bonding surface on the back of the four-sided pad, wherein the bonding surface is irregular in order to enhance the bonding strength to the enamel surface of a tooth; and an index attached to the top occlusal side of the four-sided pad; wherein the removal of the base of the orthodontic attachment is dependent upon prior removal of the protruding surface; and wherein the pocket orthodontic bonding pad comprises a shape comprising specific occlusal-gingival, mesial-distal, and lingual-labial dimensions, such that the bonding surface cooperatively engages dental anatomical contours of enamel of an individual patient's individual tooth, and the orthodontic attachment is positioned at a specific, pre-determined occlusal-gingival, mesial-distal, lingual-labial position and torque when the orthodontic attachment base is received by the retentive aspects of the pocket orthodontic bonding pad.
