Intraoral scan of participants' upper dentition will be obtained. Digital stereolithography models will be used for virtual bracket positioning on software. The digital setup of the brackets will be used for designing the customized indirect bonding transferring tray for one quadrant of the upper arch of each patient.
Intraoral scan of participants' upper dentition will be obtained. Digital stereolithography models will be used for virtual bracket positioning on software. The digital setup of the brackets will be used for designing the customized guiding direct bonding tray for the other quadrant of the upper arch of each patient.

RECRUITINGBracket Placement Accuracy
Measured as the linear and angular deviation between the virtually planned and actual bracket positions using 3D superimposition technique of the digital setup model and intraoral scan after bonding.
Time frame: Immediately after bonding
Immediate Bracket Failure
Immediate bracket failure will be assessed for each quadrant during the removal of the bonding trays at the bonding appointment.
Time frame: Immediately after bonding
