Sponsor's own description

This clinical study aimed to assess pain levels and debonding forces using two different pliers: the traditional bracket remover plier and the Damon clear debonding plier. A total of 40 orthodontic patients (ages 17-25) participated in a split-mouth controlled trial. The patients were divided into two groups, with Group A (Control) using the traditional bracket remover plier and Group B using the Damon clear plier, which features a third wedging arm. Pain perception was evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and debonding forces were measured using a force-sensitive prototype.
