The objective of this prospective study is to compare these two treatments (conventional brackets v.s. self-ligating brackets) in malocclusion to determine which treatment will provide the better oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) outcomes for patients during the initial orthodontic treatment compared with pretreatment.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-ligating brackets | Experimental | Several self-ligating brackets are currently FDA-approved but have not been rigorously studied in this malocclusion patient population or in comparison to traditional brackets methods. Unlike conventional brackets, Self-ligating brackets (SLB) are bracket systems, without the wire ligature or elastic ligature, that have a tube-like device build into the bracket to close off the edgewise slot. |
|
| Conventional brackets | Placebo Comparator | The conventional brackets (CB) (edgewise appliance) retain the basic principle design of a rectangular wire in a rectangular slot. Archwire are tied to the bracket once placed in the slot with either elastometric ligation ties ("O-rings") or steel ligation. |
