Summary

\- Evaluate and compare initial changes in PBF between conventional and self-ligating fixed orthodontic brackets during leveling and alignment stage using 0.016" Nickle titanium (NiTi) and 0.016X0.022" NiTi archwires at different time intervals (20min, 24h, 72h, 1 week and 1 month) of initial arch wire placement.

Conditions

  • Orthodontic Appliances

Interventions

OTHER

A Pre-adjusted edgewise brackets: 3M Gemini Unitek, 0.022" Roth prescription brackets

A pre-adjusted edgewise fixed appliance (3M Gemini Unitek, 0.022" Roth prescription brackets) on one side of lower arch. The standardized bonding technique was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. Teeth alignment was initiated using round 0.016" NiTi arch wire until 0.016X0.022" NiTi was reached. The NiTi arch wires were placed into brackets slots and tied with elastomers (figure of 8).

OTHER

Self- ligating brackets: Unitek™ Gemini SL Self-Ligating Brackets, 0.022" Roth prescription brackets

Self-ligating brackets (Unitek™ Gemini SL Self-Ligating Brackets, 0.022" Roth prescription brackets) on the other side of lower arch. The standardized bonding technique was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. Teeth alignment was initiated using round 0.016" NiTi arch wire until 0.016X0.022" NiTi was reached. The NiTi arch wires were placed into brackets slots and held in place by bracket's gate in the self-ligating brackets side.
