Fulltext PDFAim: To compare and contrast the anchoring loss and total treatment duration between the passive SLB (Smart Clip) and traditional pre-adjusted edgewise bracket systems.
Methods and Materials: The conventional preadjusted edgewise (M.B.T.) bracket system was used on 20 patients, whereas the Smart Clip self-ligating bracket system was used on 20 patients. Patients in the conventional pre-adjusted edgewise (M.B.T.) bracket group and the Smart Clip self-ligating bracket group had mean ages of 17.8±2.1 years and 17.6±2.1 years, respectively. Before and after the retraction was finished, each patient had two lateral cephalometric radiographs taken. The amount of anchoring loss that has been seen is the result of initial levelling and alignment, followed by sliding mechanics to close the space.
Results: The difference in mean values (anchorage loss) regarding U6 (sagittal) between category A and category B was non significant statistically. The difference in mean values (anchorage loss) regarding L6 (sagittal) between category A and category B was non significant statistically. The difference in mean values (anchorage loss) regarding U6 (verticall) between category A and category B was non significant statistically. The difference in mean values (anchorage loss) regarding L6 (vertical) between category A and category B was non significant statistically. The anchorage loss was greater in conventional M.B.T appliance, however the difference was not significant statistically.
Conclusion: The anchorage loss was greater in conventional M.B.T appliance, however the difference was not significant statistically.
