Abstract

Background: The correct positioning of brackets in the orthodontic field is a crucial step in orthodontic treatment. Various methods, including both direct and indirect approaches, are currently employed to achieve precise bracket placements. Each method has its own set of advantages and disadvantages in terms of accuracy and treatment duration. This study introduces a review of the previous researchers work in the field of different bracket placements techniques. Results: In comparison with direct bonding (16 mins and 47 secs), computer-aided indirect bonding required much less time in the clinical chair to bond half of a mouth (12 mins and 52 secs). Nevertheless, the overall bonding time (28 mins and 14 secs) for indirect bonding turned out to be longer than for direct bonding in a case when the time that is needed for digital bracket placement was taken into account. The direct bonding approach did not result in immediate debonding, while the indirect bonding approach resulted in the loss of 14 brackets (5.1%). Computer-aided indirect bonding has been shown to be more costly compared to the direct bonding after a cost-minimization analysis. Conclusions: Many papers are reviewed in bracket placement methods showing a strong need for a newly mechanism that has the feature of semi-automatic operations, that facilitates the time for treatment and in the same time reduce the cost and complexity of the treatment.
