Does the Pain Experienced During Orthodontic Treatment and Bracket Removal Depend on the Architecture of the Bracket?

Brackets on the right side of both dental arches were debonded using the lift-off debonding instrument (LODI), while on the left side, the bracket removal pliers (BRP). The residual adhesive was removed through two methods (manual in the upper arch and rotary in the lower). The same scale was employed to assess pain levels during brackets and adhesive removal.
