Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Fixed orthodontic treatment.
* All the patients are at the end of leveling and alignment stage.

* All patients will be given good oral hygiene instruction at the first visit.
* The subjects had not taken antibiotics for at least 6 weeks before saliva sampling or during the experimental period.
* All subjects used a fluoride dentifrice twice a day.
Exclusion Criteria
* Removable orthodontic treatment.
* Patients at early stages of leveling and alignment.
* Initial bacterial count indicates low caries risk.
* Subjects that have taken antibiotics for at least 6 weeks before saliva sampling.
