2013, MedKnow Publications, Contemp Clin Dent, 2013, 4:307-12 MBT bracket group had a lower score of 2.60 points in buccolingual inclination and lower score of 1.10 points in occlusal contact category that was statistically significant when compared with roth group. The difference in total ABO‑OGS score was 2.65 points showing that the outcome for the MBT prescription was better than that of the roth prescription, which is statistically significant, but with little or no clinical significance. It can be concluded that use of either one of the Roth and MBT bracket prescriptions have no impact to the overall clinical outcome and quality of treatment entirely depends on clinician judgment and experience.
