To compare changes in the amount and distribution of supragingival dental plaque associated with elastomeric modules for archwire ligation. To relate these changes to caries/decalcification and signs of periodontal inflammation. To explore the reproducibility and appropriateness of methods of assessing plaque in the presence of orthodontic brackets.
