The effect of bracket slot size on the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: While most studies indicated a shorter duration of treatment in patients with 0.018-inch bracket slots, no available data confirmed the higher efficiency of one system over the other. The biases in the studies did not allow for a reliable conclusion; therefore, new studies with a better methodologic design are needed.
