Digital vs. Conventional Indirect Bonding.

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Malocclusion

In brief

This randomized split-mouth clinical trial will compare digital and conventional indirect bonding techniques for fixed orthodontic bracket placement in adolescent patients requiring treatment in both dental arches. Each participant will receive both bonding techniques, with allocation of the digital and conventional indirect bonding procedures to the upper or lower arch determined by randomization. The study will evaluate the time required to complete bracket bonding procedures and the early clinical performance of the two techniques, assessed by bracket failure within the first month after appliance placement.
