Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Full permanent dentition from second molar to second molar in both jaws 2. Informed consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Contraindications for fixed-appliance treatment (poor oral hygiene, severe root resorptions, patients with limited cooperation). 2. Malocclusions that prevent all brackets being bonded simultaneously. 3. Malformed or ill-structured teeth that cannot be bonded with brackets. 4. Treatment only in one jaw 5. Need for molar banding

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate bracket positioning accuracy the post-bonding bracket positions in both arches will be recorded again by intraoral scanning. The deviations will be evaluated between pre- and post-bonding through virtual superimposition with a software (Geomagic Control®). Timepoint 1: First appointment of patients, dentist decides bracket placement, order Individua tray. >>> three days Timepoint 2: Individua tray fabrication, digital data export, tray sent to orthodontic department. >>> nine workdays timepoint 3: Second appointment of patients, data measurement. The whole process (timepoint 1 to 3) should not exceed four weeks. The difference between two bracket transfer methods is considered clinically significant when translational deviations exceed 0.2 mm (SD 0.04mm) or rotational deviations exceed 5°. For each bracket pair seven values in all planes and axes are obtained, including three translational values in millimeters (x, y, z, sum) and three rotational values in degrees (x, y, z). | — |
