Conclusions: The results of the failure modes showed that the new designs with a ball reduction band in the Inspire Ice bracket and the vertical debonding slot in the Clarity bracket significantly reduced the risk of ceramic bracket fracture during debonding.
The maximum load necessary to debond or initiate bracket fracture was recorded in newtons (N).
The maximum load necessary to debond or initiate bracket fracture was recorded in newtons and then converted into MPa as a ratio of newtons to surface area of the bracket.

Cohesive bracket fractures were noted in all 3 types of ceramic brackets (debonded by hand: 70% of Inspire, 20% of Inspire Ice, and 10% of Clarity; debonded by machine: 75% of Inspire, 30% of Inspire Ice, and 25% of Clarity).
One premolar bonded with an Inspire bracket had enamel fracture upon debonding.
A crucial point for this evaluation is the line of adhesive fracture during bracket debonding.
These premolars were healthy and with no restorations or composite resin from bracket bonding and enamel fractures.
Inappropriate surface treatment of laminate veneers before bonding orthodontic brackets can result in fracture or loss of the underlying laminate during debonding; furthermore, adhesive remnants require removal [14].
However, for the Inspire and the Inspire Ice brackets, the cohesive ceramic fractures were located at the occlusal aspect of the base.
The use of shear forces to remove orthodontic brackets would result in a reduced risk of enamel fracture when compared to tensile forces (Figures 3,4,5).
Significant differences in the tie-wing tensile fracture strength of semi-twin and true-twin brackets have been reported [36].
