Background and Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the effect of light-curable fluoride varnish on enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets using polarized light microscopy and to compare the depth of demineralization at different time periods. Method: In 15 patients, the first premolars were allocated into 2 groups. In the experimental group light-curable fluoride varnish was applied. At the end of each time period (60, 90, and 120 days), first premolar brackets were debonded and premolars were extracted. Buccolingual sections were evaluated under a polarized light microscope and depth of demineralization was assessed. Results: The depth of demineralization in the control group increased from 60 to 120 days, and the experimental group did not show any significant difference during the time period. Conclusion: Single application of light-curable fluoride varnish, Clinpro XT can be effective in reducing enamel demineralization during fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy, especially in noncompliant patients.
