Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Recruitment completed
• Sex: Not specified
• Target Recruitment: Not specified

Inclusion Criteria

Eighteen to thirty years old patients, of both sexes, with normal general health conditions and complete permanent dentition except third molars, with normal anatomy, will be admitted to the research. There should be mild malocclusion characterized by an Angle class I molar relationship, with no skeletal and dental changes in the vertical direction, transverse or antero-posterior. The patient may have mild crowding or few diastemas.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with routine use of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxants or anxiolytic drugs, and patients with temporomandibular disorders will be excluded. In addition, patients with anomalous teeth or with large restorations that hinder the visualization of their normal anatomy or a proper bonding. Patients who used antibiotics in the 3 months before the start of the research will also be excluded.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected to find more advantages in indirect bonding than in direct bonding, both in bonding and in taking off, with more clinical speed and perception of less time and more comfort by patients, verified by means of a stopwatch and questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Periodontal evaluation revealing less plaque accumulation around the brackets and on the gingival margin in the indirect bonding technique revealing more periodontal and dental health. Verification by periodontal indexes and periodontal probing.;Muscular assessment of the upper and lower lips revealing rapid muscle adaptation to the presence of brackets regardless of the bonding technique, verified by means of the electromyograph.;Assessment of tooth color before and after bonding the brackets, showing that there is no change after orthodontic treatment regardless of the technique, verified by the spectrophotometer.
