The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the frequency of bracket bond failure and find out risk factors. Methods: A total of 101 patients with an age range of 11\u201356 years were included in this retrospective study and treated for a mean period of 30.2 months. Inclusion criteria were: males and females with permanent dentition and completed orthodontic treatment in both fully bonded dental arches. Risk factors were calculated using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The overall bracket failure rate was 14.65%. The bracket failure rate was significantly higher in the younger patients\u2019 group (p = 0.003). In most cases, patients experienced bracket failures in the first month of the treatment. Most of the bracket bond failures occurred on the left lower first molar (29.1%) and were twice as common in the lower dental arch (66.98%). Patients with increased overbite had an increased likelihood of bracket loss (p = 0.042). Class II malocclusion increased the relative risk of bracket failure, while Class III decreased the rate of bracket failure, but the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.093). Conclusions: The bracket bond failure rate was higher in younger patients than in older patients. Brackets placed on mandibular molars and premolars had the highest failure rate. Class II was associated with an increased bracket failure rate. Increased overbite statistically significantly increases bracket failure rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20054452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]],"date-time":"2023-03-02T03:29:00Z","timestamp":1677727740000},"page":"4452","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Bracket Bond Failures: Incidence and Association with Different Risk Factors\u2014A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7063-850X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reda","family":"Jakavi\u010d\u0117","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Odontology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Kubili\u016bt\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Odontology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dalia","family":"Smailien\u0117","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Odontology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, 44307 Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5261","DOI":"10.1590\/1413-812320212611.3.07992020","article-title":"Alterations of oral functions and dental malocclusions in adolescents: A cross-sectional population-based study","volume":"26","author":"Freitas","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cien.
