Blue Sky Plan Manual

More detailed instructions for use are available in Footnotes 31.2. The user during the export step should select the check boxes for "Export models" and "With Brackets" and generate a model, including the bracket location indicators, in the form of an STL model.

Precautions: Do not touch the bonding surfaces with your bare fingers as skin oils may diminish the adhesion. Do not allow adhesive to get under the bracket in the guide slot. The position of each bracket should be verified by the clinician and if necessary malpositioned brackets should be removed and repositioned. Ceramic brackets may abrade the opposing arch. Wait to apply the ceramic brackets until the bite has opened. If necessary, use metal brackets before the placement of ceramic brackets. Provide the patient with instructions on how to conduct thorough oral hygiene, as tartar or food debris may impair the function of the bracket. Do not apply excessive force when opening the bracket as the bracket may bend or detach from the tooth. To prevent splintering when removing the brackets, use the appropriate instrument. If patient experiences an allergic reaction, immediately remove the bracket and advise patient to seek medical care.
