INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of orthodontic bracket positioning using two different protocols of digitally aided bonding.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Patients with permanent dentition starting orthodontic treatment requiring vestibular fixed orthodontic appliance according to treatment needs.
- Fully erupted set of teeth (except for the second and third molars).
- Mild to moderate crowding.
- Good oral hygiene.
Exclusion Criteria5
- Any medical or dental conditions that may impede orthodontic treatment.
- Patients with severe crowded or rotated teeth, or partially erupted teeth that will hinder the proper positioning of the brackets or bonding trays.
- Patients with any enamel abnormalities, hypoplastic enamel, white spot lesions.
- Presence of large restorations or carious teeth.
- Presence of supernumerary or impacted teeth or tooth agenesis.

Interventions
Intraoral scan of participants' upper dentition will be obtained. Digital stereolithography models will be used for virtual bracket positioning on software. The digital setup of the brackets will be used for designing the customized indirect bonding transferring tray for one quadrant of the upper arch of each patient.
