ABSTRACT:
A disposable applicator has a translucent bonder tip member that forms an orthodontic attachment which bonds to the surface of the tooth in one easy motion, where an orthodontic wire or rubber band may be placed thereon and held in position to correct irregular teeth of an individual. The curing resin is placed in a shaped contour cavity of the bonder tip member and then it is positioned against each surface of the tooth. Then a curing light is shined on the resin through the translucent bonder tip member so that the resin becomes hardened and forms the orthodontic attachment on the surface of the tooth. The disposable applicator may also retain a conventional orthodontic button therein so that an orthodontist can rapidly and effortlessly bond the orthodontic button to each surface of the tooth.
