Abstract:Rebonding of orthodontic brackets to new positions during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances is a common practice and it is important not to cause plastic deformation during bracket removal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance of various brackets to compression and assess their thresholds for plastic deformation. 5 different groups of metal brackets (BioQuick, Damon Q, Experience, Mini Diamond, Mini Sprint II) were bonded to 85 extracted human central incisor teeth utilizing the same … Show more
