Effectiveness of self-ligating versus conventional brackets for treatment of bimaxillary protrusion: a single-centre randomized clinical trial.

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the effectiveness of self-ligating and conventional brackets in treating bimaxillary protrusion.
• Conducted a randomized clinical trial at a single center.
• Patients with bimaxillary protrusion were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: self-ligating and conventional brackets.
• Treatment outcomes were assessed through imaging and clinical evaluations.
• Self-ligating brackets achieved better alignment and reduced treatment time compared to conventional brackets.
• Patients reported higher satisfaction rates with the self-ligating brackets.
• No significant adverse effects were observed in either group.
