A packaged orthodontic assembly includes a container with a chamber and an
orthodontic appliance received in the chamber. A quantity of a first
orthodontic adhesive material is applied by the manufacturer to the base
of the orthodontic appliance. A second orthodontic adhesive material is
also received in the chamber in initially spaced relationship to the
first orthodontic adhesive material. The practitioner can elect to bring
the first orthodontic adhesive material into contact with the second
orthodontic adhesive material when desired.
