ACCURATE ORTHODONTIC BRACKETS POSITIONING WITH OR WITHOUT DENTAL MAGNIFYING LOUPES
Sponsor: University of Malaya
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the accuracy of bracket positioning on tooth facial axis of clinical crown with dental loupes (L) or without dental loupes (NL) on orthodontic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the usage of dental loupes affect the linear measurement of the bracket positioning during bond-up in patients? 2. Does the usage of the dental loupes affect the angular measurement of the bracket positioning during bond-up in patients ? Researchers will compare group that use dental loupes and without dental loupes to a gold standard. Participants will * Be addressed a treatment plan tailored to their malocclusion. * Take an intraoral scan with an intraoral scanner 3Shape TRIOS, Copenhagen, Denmark. * Attend bond up session that was scheduled within a week time once the gold standard for individual patient was generated. * Take second intraoral scan after bracket bonding

Bonding of the orthodontic brackets with dental loupe with Zumax Dental loupes DFK Angled Loupe with a magnification of x3.0 and focus depth of 42cm
Bonding of the orthodontic brackets on patients' teeth with dental loupe with Zumax Dental loupes DFK Angled Loupe with a magnification of x3.0 and focus depth of 42cm. Then the scanned for STL file and be superimposed with the gold standard created for the patient individually.
