Introduction: With a trend towards orthodontic treatment with visually less noticeable appliances, the use
of ceramic brackets has gained in popularity. The number of brands of ceramic brackets offered by
manufacturers has increased significantly, a major drawback of ceramic brackets i.e. fracture of tie wings
during treatment still persists. Ceramic brackets have a definite advantage over metal brackets in terms of
decreased visibility and disadvantage as brittle. Shifting of atomic bonds and redistribution of stresses does
not occur in ceramics whereas in metal brackets it is the reason for its toughness. To evaluate the fracture
resistance between two groups of ceramic brackets.
