passive self-ligating, Damon Ultima brackets
Patients will receive Damon Ultima self-ligating brackets (Ormco Corp., Glendora, California, USA) bonded from the second molar to the second molar in each arch. Archwires will follow a standardized sequence: 0.014-inch CuNiTi, 0.018-inch CuNiTi, and 0.014 × 0.0275-inch CuNiTi (Ormco Corp., Glendora, California, USA). All bonding procedures will follow a standardized protocol, including enamel cleaning, acid etching, primer application (Ortho Solo), and adhesive curing (Green Glow).
