how long does it take for dental cement to dry?
Light curing cement takes 30 seconds to harden. Self curing cement takes 3 minutes to harden.
A minute or so. Edit: Well next time be specific. Bracket cement is hardened with the use of a curing light. (blue light that the orthodontist will hold over the teeth.) Each individual tooth is processed using this light. Each tooth takes about 3-5 minutes. After the brackets are on and dried, they put the wires in.
