The present review addresses the basics of adhesive chemistry, bonding and other clinical applications of adhesives in orthodontics as well as the recent advances in adhesives used in orthodontics. Understanding the chemical differences and physical limitations of today’s orthodontic cements, resins, and hybrid materials is required for appropriate material selection and application in orthodontics. Material development has a crucial role in the practice of orthodontics. Direct bonding of orthodontic attachments has increased the acceptability of the orthodontic appliance by the patients. The weaker resin metal interface causes failure of bonded metal brackets. The development in the micromechanical interface is of critical importance in bonding. The use of resin and resin-cement hybrid materials is increasing due to their improved physical properties and low solubility in saliva. Resin adhesives penetrate the micropores in the etched enamel and aids in the mechanical retention in orthodontic devices, leading to higher bond strengths because resins are more fracture resistant than cements. New orthodontic cements, adhesive resins, and hybrid cement-resin combinations provide improved physical properties and clinical benefits, yet there are differences within the clinical indications and contraindications for every class of material. With an understanding of the features, benefits, and limitations, the practitioner can choose the material wisely to get desired results. This review highlights the various dental adhesives utilized in orthodontics.
