Introduction: A challenge in orthodontics is achieving ideal bracket position which determines treatment results and finishing. A new bonding method is done indirectly on the cast and bonded directly on the teeth, but it does not require conventional trays to carry the brackets to the teeth. Materials and Methods: Heavy sized archwires like 0.019”­ x0.025” or 0.018” SS are bent to the malocclusion to generate a template which comprises of an Bracket -Archwire Assembly (BAA). This assembly is transferred onto the teeth using the molar bands with tubes which serves as a jig for proper orientation of the BAA, then the adhesive is cured at one shot to complete the bonding procedure. Results: Two surgical cases successfully bonded with this technique is presented in this article. Conclusion: This bonding method finds specific advantages in surgical orthodontics – when the surgeon decides on a surgeryfirst treatment objective, management of single or a couple of periodontally extruded teeth, management of impacted teeth and in patients needing fixed functional appliance immediately before the completion of growth spurt.
