Perfect-a-Smile is a single light cure paste that comes in a 4g jar in 3 shades (light B1, medium A2 and dark A3.5) and can be painted on any aligner material to mask a space or missing tooth. Perfect A Smile bonds directly to the clear plastic thermoplastic aligner - no conditioner or plastic preparation is needed. Each jar contains 4 grams and can paint about 27-40 pontics.
Instructions for use:
- To ensure uniformity due to settlement of the product, mix the pontic paint with a spatula until uniform.
- Apply 3-4 coats of the pontic paint with a bristle brush, stroking over each coat several times and light curing for 10 seconds at close range with an LED light after each coat.
- After final coat is applied and light cured, perform a final light cure through the aligner for 20 seconds from the labial and lingual surfaces.
