- Abstract
The article investigates the effect of bonding second molars on orthodontic treatment outcomes in adolescents undergoing nonextraction fixed treatment, analyzing variables like curve of Spee leveling, overbite correction, and incisor mandibular plane angle control. It concludes that bonding second molars improves treatment results without extending treatment duration but may lead to more frequent emergency visits.
