Abstract
Objective: The study's goal was to compare and contrast the effectiveness and efficiency of customized and non-customized orthodontic brackets.
Materials and Methods: 10 patients (Group A) were treated with a Customized section System (Insignia USA) and 10 patients (Group B) were treated with a Non-customized Bracket system (Damon).Gathering this data, the clinical effectiveness and efficiency was measured by estimating Initial Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) and Final PAR scores, assessing the complete therapy time, number of scheduled appointments, number of examination visits, number of loose brackets and pain rating during the treatment which was recorded with a numerical rating scale.
Results: The Insignia group outperformed the Damon group in terms of clinical efficiency, but there was no difference in PAR score reduction so overall clinical effectiveness of the Insignia and Damon groups was identical.
Conclusion: Orthodontists would be able to give high-quality treatment in less time with fewer appointments and less chair time if they use the optimum bracket system.
