3M™ APC™ Flash-Free
Adhesive Coated Appliance System
Simply a better way
to bond.
Bonding is undergoing a revolution. And while the current system of
™
adding adhesive to a bracket works fine, the 3M
Adhesive Coated Appliance System works even better—and faster.
The system’s next generation, resin-soaked nonwoven mat adheres
to enamel for a better, reliable bond that also eliminates the process
of flash removal.
™
APC
Flash-Free
At 3M, we think it’s time to leave flash behind. We used proven
3M technologies to develop APC Flash-Free Adhesive—the most
efficient bonding system in orthodontics. Our innovative design
creates a unique adhesive bonding substrate on the base of
each bracket.
APC Flash-Free adhesive coated brackets have shown an average bond
failure rate of less than two percent in the first ninety days of bonding.*
Saves Time and Cost
Faster and more efficient bonding
than non-precoated brackets.
Superior Bonding Efficiency
Bond time is reduced up to 40%
per bracket.
APC Flash-Free Adhesive is
available on five appliance choices
for complete 7×7 bonding and is
compatible with both metal and
ceramic brackets.
Eliminates the flash removal
step from bonding.
No flash removal reduces accidental
bracket movement after positioning,
reducing the need to reposition.
Simple, easy clean-up at debonding.
Protects tooth enamel under adhesive.

Proven technology. Superior performance.
Powered by 3M science, APC Flash-Free Adhesive leverages
several of the highly advanced 3M Technology Platforms such as
nanotechnology, adhesives and nonwoven materials. The result is a
revolutionary way to bond orthodontic appliances that eliminates the
many challenges of bonding with flash.
Bonding reliability without flash
removal. Orthodontic appliances
bonded using APC Flash-Free Adhesive
have reliable bond strength that’s
comparable to 3M
Adhesive and 3M
while eliminating challenging and
time-consuming flash removal.
The difference is the fibers. Minimal
bracket drift occurs after initial placement
because of the adhesive bond provided
by nonwoven materials. A web of
micron-sized polypropylene fibers
provide the necessary thickness and
loft needed for a reliable bond.

APC Flash-Free Adhesive
Traditional paste adhesives require flash cleanup which can
leave uneven excess adhesive or undercuts around the edges of
brackets, allowing a surface area for food particles to accumulate
or plaque to form. Our APC Flash-Free Adhesive forms a smooth
meniscus when the adhesive coated bracket is seated, which seals
the tooth surface around the edges of the bracket.
A smooth, even and hygienic seal.
The pre-coated resin forms a smooth
meniscus around the bracket base.
This creates an even seal and protects
the enamel under the surface of the
bracket from acid erosion caused by
microleakage.
