All were treated using the Edgewise technique. Patients with acceptable oral hygiene and fixed appliances in both jaws were included in the study group. Blood samples were obtained using a strict aseptic technique before and after removal of bands and brackets. A 6.6% bacteremia prevalence was observed in both preoperative and postoperative blood samples.
