ABSTRACT:
An orthodontic accessory comprising an attachment contiguous with a base and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive applied to the base to interact with the tooth and a removable backing protecting the adhesive. The removable backing is scored or perforated so that a relatively small portion can be initially removed for initial placement of the accessory and is also optionally oversized with respect to the size of the base to facilitate removal. The method of treatment includes the steps of preliminarily removing a portion of the backing and preliminarily positioning the accessory on the tooth, followed by removal of the remainder of the backing and finally positioning the accessory on the tooth and applying force to effect a bind between the accessory and the tooth.
