Transbond XT orthodontic adhesive and Orthobond adhesive had appropriate bonding strengths for clinical use. Furthermore, the use of a resinous reinforcement with Transbond XT significantly increased the SBS of tubes bonded. However this technique with flowable adhesives (Tetric N Flow and Z350 Flow) did not significantly increase SBS when orthodontic tubes were bonded with Transbond XT or Orthobond.
