The use of light-cured adhesives has become the most popular method of bracket bonding, because of their ease of application and the extended time they allow for bracket placement.1 Since lasers were introduced to dentistry in the 1960s, many uses have been found for them,2 including applications in orthodontics.3 The argon laser was introduced in the 1990s.3 The argon laser produces a limited number of very specific wavelengths of light energy, with 476 nm, 488 nm and 514.5 nm being the most important.4 This coincides with the peak activity centered around 480 nm for the activation of most dental composites.5 The Effects of Argon Laser Irradiation on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets: An In Vitro Study
