Indirect (one upper tray, one lower tray) here. It was amazing how fast it was. However one bracket wasn't attached very well, so the ortho had to reapply that one directly.

That would be a turn off, Maryaten, but mine did not require any additional impressions.

I will add (for Dr. Rick) that my indirect bonding was done in 2 parts. Upper and lower instead of quadrents.

Mine did NOT require a separate set of impressions. They used the ones that were made at my records appointment. I believe they simply made 2 sets at that time.

Nope, no extra impressions, just pour them up twice....sometimes we do full arch also, it just depends on the case.
