Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: In vivo study Healthy adolescent/adult patients aged between 15-30 years Complete set of permanent dentition (third molars not included) In vitro study Healthy extracted human permanent premolar teeth Teeth with intact enamel free from caries Teeth not previously exposed to chemical agents (e.g. bleaching agents)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: In vivo study Had a history of previous orthodontic treatment Transverse discrepancy or skeletal / dental cause of deep bite/open bite interfering with precise bracket positioning Habits like tongue thrusting , thumb sucking etc In vitro study Teeth with restorations (composite, amalgam, veneers, crowns) Teeth with attrition, abrasion, or erosion affecting the buccal enamel surface Teeth with previous orthodontic bonding or residual adhesive Teeth with root resorption or developmental anomalies Teeth stored in improper storage media or for prolonged periods affecting enamel integrity
