An orthodontic adhesive includes components capable of allowing easy debonding of an orthodontic device from a patient's tooth. The adhesive includes an engineered marine mussel protein. The adhesive may include at least one photocleavable moiety. The adhesive is applied in one or more individual layers. One of the components of the adhesive is capable of binding to a tooth and the other component may be capable of binding to an orthodontic device. A method of adhering an orthodontic device to a tooth includes applying a layer of an orthodontic adhesive to either the tooth or the orthodontic device or the tooth and the orthodontic device and affixing the orthodontic device to the tooth with the orthodontic adhesive situated between the tooth and the orthodontic device. The engineered marine mussel protein includes one or more catechol moieties or one or more derivatives of a catechol moiety.

One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide an SiH group-containing polysiloxane emulsion composition having a less risk of expansion of a container due to the dehydrogenation reaction with time during storage, causing less deterioration in its performance, and having an excellent shelf life. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide an addition-curable silicone emulsion composition comprising the aforesaid emulsion composition and having excellent curability. Another purpose is to provide a cured film obtained by curing the aforesaid addition-curable silicone emulsion composition and having excellent light releasability from an adhesive. The present invention provides an emulsion composition comprising components (A), (B), (C) and (E): 100 parts by mass of (A) organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two hydrogen atoms each bonded to a silicon atom (i.e., SiH group) in one molecule, 0.1 to 20 parts by mass of (B) a nonionic surfactant, 0.01 to 50 parts by mass of (C) a buffer solution having a pH in a range of 4.0 to 6.0 at 25° C., and 30 to 10000 parts by mass of (E) water.
