The Morelli Bondable Convex Lingual Button is a stainless steel orthodontic attachment bonded directly to enamel with adhesive resin, creating a fixation point for rotation, traction, retraction and anchorage mechanics. Its mushroom-shaped head traps elastics and ligature wires, and its convex base curves outward to seat against concave enamel surfaces.
Key Features
Convex bonding base — the outward curvature seats flush against concave enamel surfaces
Micropins retention pattern — mechanical anchoring for the bonding adhesive
Mushroom-shaped head — traps elastics and ligature wires so the auxiliary does not slip off
Stainless steel body — metal construction for direct bonding to enamel
Accepts springs, wires and elastic ligatures for traction and tooth movement
Rounded shape with optimal finishing for comfort on the lingual surface

Clinical Applications
Bonding on concave enamel surfaces, where a flat base would rock rather than sit flush
Rotation and derotation mechanics with elastic chain or ligature wire running from the button to the archwire
Traction and retraction with elastics or springs anchored on the bonded button
Will the base sit flush on that surface?
This button is bonded straight to the tooth with adhesive resin: the convex Ø3.5 mm base with its micropins pattern is made to seat against concave enamel, and the mushroom head then holds elastics, ligature wires or springs. Ten pieces per package.
