About

There's a scarcity in literature concerning the comparison of the effectiveness of brackets in its torque and tip ability, the time takes for leveling and alignment comparing between different orthodontic bracket brands, and its effect on the rate of tooth movement. The purpose of this study is to determine, In orthodontic patients with Class I molar relation and teeth crowding, in which different bracket brands will be compared.

Full description

Bracket effectiveness can be measured in a variety of ways, including torque, tip, time required for levelling and alignment, bracket failure, and the patient's visual analogue scale. All are viable options; therefore, we want to complete the orthodontic treatment and determine which brackets fulfilled the built-in bracket prescription and achieved success in terms of aesthetics, better smiles, better patient judgement, and function.
