Damon vs MBT Braces: Patient Compliance and Treatment Efficiency

Patients will receive Damon Ultima self-ligating brackets (Ormco Corp., Glendora, California, USA) bonded from the second molar to the second molar in each arch. Archwires will follow a standardized sequence: 0.014-inch CuNiTi, 0.018-inch CuNiTi, and 0.014 × 0.0275-inch CuNiTi (Ormco Corp., Glendora, California, USA). All bonding procedures will follow a standardized protocol, including enamel cleaning, acid etching, primer application (Ortho Solo), and adhesive curing (Green Glow).

Patients will receive MBT Mini Diamond brackets (Ormco Corp., Glendora, California, USA) bonded in the same manner, with the same archwire sequence.
