Treatment efficiency of conventional vs self-ligating brackets Results: The Orthos Patients : the mean wire removal time for the Orthos brackets was 64.5 seconds per bonded arch (SD 18), compared with 98.4 seconds (SD 24) for wire placement. A smaller difference was observed for the D2 brackets (Table II). Treatment efficiency of conventional vs self-ligating brackets The mean time to open slides for the D2 patients per bracket was 3.7 seconds compared with 4.7 seconds for elastic ligature removal with the Orthos brackets (Table II). This difference of 1 second per bracket was statistically significant when comparing the 2 groups as a whole(P .01). Treatment efficiency of conventional vs self-ligating brackets Results: 1.6 seconds longer per bracket to remove elastic ligatures compared with opening the D2 slides for wire group 4 (Table III). The smallest nickel-titanium wires (group 1) had a small difference in wire removal time between the 2 bracket types, but this was not statistically significant. When closing the D2 slides, the mean time per bracket was 5.7 seconds, compared with 7.6 seconds for Orthos ligation (P .001). The mean ligation times were 46.3 seconds (SD 22) for a fully bonded arch for D2 and 98.4 seconds (SD 24) forthe Orthos brackets.when comparing the 2 bracket types as a whole (Table II). (t =3.55; P .001). . Treatment efficiency of conventional vs self-ligating brackets Treatment efficiency of conventional vs self-ligating brackets The D2 brackets had shorter ligation times for all wire groups and were statistically significant for wire groups 2, 3, and 4 (Table III). This is clearly illustrated in Figure 2 by the separation of the plotted lines for the 2 bracket systems. It also shows that the relative differences in ligation times are moremarked for the larger wire sizes in both nickeltitanium and stainless steel.
