“…3−5,13 Although it was mentioned that monocrystalline ceramic brackets revealed less stain than the polycrystalline ceramic brackets by about 25% 17 , however, these studies have concluded that all tooth-colored orthodontic brackets tend to discolor with varying degrees depending on the kind of food, the immersion time, and according to bracket manufacturing and fabrication. 18−20 As a result, all patients treated using ceramic or polymer-based brackets should reduce the consumption of staining foods and drinks to diminish the severity of this sequelae. 1,21 Therefore, bracket staining and assessment of color change was not part of this study objectives.…”

Aim: To determine the difference in the reflected color coordinates and to compare the translucency and opacity of different as-received ceramic brackets using a spectrophotometer. Materials and Methods: Four types of ceramic brackets were investigated in this in vitro study. A total of 72 ceramic brackets were examined using a spectrophotometer. Reflected color coordinates of the labial side of bracket were measured according to the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE) color scale. Color difference between brackets was calculated using the equation: Δ E*ab = [(Δ L*)2 + (Δ a*)2 + (Δ b*)2] 1/2. Translucency parameter (TP) and opalescence parameter (OP) were calculated to determine translucency and opacity of the brackets, respectively. Data was collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS V25. The significance level was set at p ≤ .05. One-way ANOVA and post hoc multiple comparison tests were utilized. Results: The range for CIE L* (lightness) was 62.69 to 58.83, for a* (red–green parameter) −0.33 to −2.9 and for b* (yellow–blue parameter) −2.19 to 2.29. All these color co-ordinates were influenced by bracket brand ( p < .05). DISCREET™ showed the highest TP = 16.342 and Symetri™ Clear showed the lowest = 10.823. The OP values ranged between 1.783 and 3.781 and Symetri™ Clear showed the highest OP. Conclusion: Color coordinates, TP, and OP of esthetic brackets investigated with a spectrophotometer were significantly different and influenced by the material microstructure and/or manufacturing process.
