Background: The purpose of this study is to determine if the reported advantages of SLB are indeed perceived by orthodontists in their daily practice and whether there is a relationship between the bracket systems or practitioner’s prefers and the perceived advantages of that bracket system. Materials and Methods: The questions were scripted and distributed to evaluate the clinical efficiency of Self Ligating Brackets compared to Conventional Brackets as perceived by Orthodontists on their experience and efficacy of both of these bracket systems. Results: Self ligating Brackets s were preferred during the initial stage of treatment based on the shorter adjustment appointments and faster initial treatment progress they provided. On the other hand, practitioners preferred Conventional brackets during the finishing and detailing stages of treatment. Conventional brackets were also preferred over Self Ligating Brackets Considering the cost factor and less inventory that resulted in fewer appointments. Conclusions: The orthodontists preference was significantly influenced by the proportion of patients treated with Self Ligating Brackets, the number of cases it took them to become accustomed to Self ligating brackets and the average appointment intervals associated with Self ligating brackets.
