Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Amount of metalic ions in saliva in ug/mL in patients with metallic bracktes will be higher than those with esthetic brackets or do not undergo orthodontic treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with esthetic appliances present higher amounts of metalic ions than patientes not undergoing orthodontic treatment due to loss of esthetic coverage of the archwires in ug/mL.;Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with esthetic appliances present higher amounts of metalic ions than patientes not undergoing orthodontic treatment due to loss of esthetic coverage of the archwires in ug/mL. | — |
