How do braces get stuck to ur teeth?

i'm just wondering, does anyone know what orthodontists use to stick the brackets of braces to ur teeth?

How do braces get stuck to ur teeth?
First the enamel of the teeth are prepared with an etchant of 37% phosphoric acid. Then, the brackets are bonded to the teeth with acrylic resins. There are various types, some that set on their own, and some that are light-curing. The light-curing bonding sets faster and is ready to put the wire on right away. Bonding works in a manner similar to contact cement, that you have two parts that are used, the bonding and the accelerator or sealant/primer to help it set. Bands are attached to the teeth usually a temporary cement, usually a glass ionomer type.

Reply:When the dentist puts the braces on, he uses cement- glue stuff to brand it on, so it is extremely hard for them to come off.
