The bonding of brackets is an essential part during the course of orthodontic treatment. A good bonding between the brackets and enamel surface is highly anticipated in the orthodontic treatment period with dynamic state. Debracketing at the end of orthodontic treatment is the critical moment for making a perfect endpoint. 4-META with superior bonding forces is an adhesive material commonly used in clinical practice. However, a good bonding force can cause increased difficulties in clinical practice and even result in pain or discomfort during the debracketing procedure. Therefore, this study aimed to find ways to reduce bonding forces during debracketing for the ultimate purposes of reducing the difficulties in clinical practice, as well as to eliminate pain and discomfort for patients.
