The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different methods for removing clear aligner attachments from tooth surfaces and to evaluate the pain levels and removal times associated with each method. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does the use of an adhesive removal plier result in less pain compared to using a tungsten carbide bur? * Is there a difference in the time required to remove attachments between the two methods? In this split-mouth, randomized clinical trial, participants who have completed clear aligner treatment will undergo two different attachment removal techniques: * Plier method: Attachments will be removed using adhesive removal pliers, followed by finishing with a tungsten carbide bur. * Bur method: Attachments will be removed entirely using a tungsten carbide bur. Pain levels will be assessed using an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) after each segment is treated, and the time required for each removal will be recorded. The amount of adhesive remaining on the enamel surface will also be evaluated. This study aims to determine which debonding technique provides a faster and more comfortable experience for patients at the end of aligner treatment.
