Tooth sensitivity was evaluated up to 1 week after removal of metal brackets. Discomfort of teeth with and without visible enamel microcracks was assessed. Debonding led to a short-term (7 days) increase in tooth sensitivity. Patients with visible enamel microcracks showed higher absolute discomfort values. The pattern of sensitivity is inherently the same for all subjects.
