What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of Smile Arc Marginal Ridge Approach (SAMRA) versus MBT chart method for bracket positioning on orthodontic treatment results. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in orthodontic treatment results between smile arc marginal ridge approach (SAMRA) and MBT chart method for bracket positioning? Does SAMRA provide more accurate orthodontic results and reduce the number of archwire bendings and brackets repositioning needed during finishing? The investigators will compare Smile Arc Marginal Ridge Approach (SAMRA) with MBT Chart Method (gold standard) to see if SAMRA provides more accurate orthodontic results and reduce the need for archwire bendings and brackets repositioning during finishing. Participants will: * Undergo orthodontic treatment and divided into two groups, Group A (SAMRA) and
