Table 3
sEMG activity of temporalis muscle chewing between different bracket types.
| | Temporalis muscle evaluation | Mean difference | 95% CI for difference | (df) | value | | Lower bound | Upper bound |
| | Conventional bracket-self ligating bracket | 11.50 | -7.05 | 30.05 | 2.13 (10.26, 92.29) | 0.028 | | Conventional bracket-ceramic bracket | 0.21 | -18.34 | 18.76 | | Self-ligating bracket-ceramic bracket | -11.29 | -29.84 | 7.26 |
