About this study

Official title: Smile Arc Assessment in Orthodontic Patients Following Smile Arc Protection Versus MBT Placement Guide Bonding Strategies: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

The study will be performed on human subjects undergoing orthodontic treatment to correct mild crowding with both techniques enhancing the final smile characteristics of the patients.

Read the detailed description

The study concisits of two groups, the intervention group entails performing bonding of orthodontic brackets following smile arc protection bonding strategy while the control group entails performing bonding using the MBT placement guide and comparing the final smile outcomes after reaching steel archwires for both groups using customized questionnaires for orthodontists and laypersons.

Being tested
18 inch slot MBT orthodontic brackets bonded using smile arc protection bonding strategy, 18 inch slot MBT orthodontic brackets boned using MBT placement guide
