ABSTRACT:
Orthodontic appliances (brackets) having a pre-applied or factory applied adhesive thereon presenting a non-tacky surface are described. The brackets, which may be plastic, metal or ceramic, have a bonding base surface to which an appropriate adhesive composition is pre-applied. The adhesive, which is uncured and generally presents a tacky outer surface, is protected from deterioration or disturbance by the attachment or adherence of particles, which may form a layer, on the outer surface of the adhesive, thereby presenting a non-tacky surface. Also included are articles consisting of a container with a cover and an orthodontic bracket having pre-applied adhesive received in the container. The adhesive on the bracket in the container presents a non-tacky surface by virtue of a layer of particles secured to the otherwise tacky adhesive surface.
