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.
Glue.
its not glue its like cement kind of stuff
UV-activated epoxy
cement
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.
