Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of four different methods (including the control group) in reducing pain during debonding of fixed orthodontic appliances in participants requiring the removal of their fixed orthodontic appliance.

The main question it aims to answer is which method (biting on a cotton roll, biting on a soft thermoplastic elastomeric sheet, and the use of low-level vibration in reducing pain during the debonding procedure) is most effective in reducing the patients' pain during debonding of conventional orthodontic fixed appliances.

Participants will be asked to give their pain score on a scale of 0 to 100 VAS (visual analogue scale) for every region of the dentition.

the researcher then will compare different scores of different methods to find the most effective method in reducing pain.
