Description
Top Comfort FGM is a light-curing orthodontic protective resin designed to prevent irritation and injuries caused by orthodontic appliances. Dentists and orthodontists commonly apply this material over protruding brackets, ligature tips, or orthodontic wires to protect the oral mucosa during treatment.
Moreover, the material uses rounded droplet formation technology, which allows the resin to adapt smoothly over sharp orthodontic components. As a result, it creates a protective barrier that prevents friction and irritation against soft tissues such as lips and cheeks.
In addition, the resin demonstrates self-leveling properties, which allow it to spread evenly across the orthodontic device during application. Consequently, clinicians can achieve complete coverage of brackets and wires without creating bulky areas that may affect patient comfort.
Another important advantage involves its high mechanical and adhesive strength. The resin remains stable on orthodontic appliances after light curing, therefore it provides durable protection during everyday oral movements. This characteristic also makes it more effective than traditional orthodontic wax, which often dislodges easily during chewing or speaking.
Furthermore, the material offers excellent clinical versatility. Orthodontists can use it not only for protecting soft tissues but also for creating stops on orthodontic wires or assisting with the fixation of ligature wires during dental traction procedures. Because of these multiple indications, the product supports several orthodontic treatment needs within a single clinical solution.
Overall, Top Comfort FGM improves patient comfort during orthodontic treatment by reducing irritation from brackets and wires. Its easy application, reliable adhesion, and protective properties make it a practical alternative to conventional orthodontic wax.

Top Comfort FGM Application Steps
-
First place a lip retractor, such as Arcflex (FGM), to keep the treatment area clean and dry.
-
Ensure the orthodontic bracket area remains completely dry before applying the material.
-
Position the syringe tip close to the bracket or orthodontic component requiring protection.
-
Dispense the required amount of resin carefully so it covers the bracket without touching the tooth surface or orthodontic wire excessively.
-
Light cure the material for 20–30 seconds using a dental curing unit.
-
Verify that the resin fully covers the intended area and polymerizes completely.
-
When removal becomes necessary, use orthodontic pliers to detach the material easily in one piece or in larger fragments.
