Aim: The aim is to provide a clinical guide for vertical positioning of the bracket. Methodology: Brackets was positioned with help of an MBT Boone gauge on the right central incisor and checked with a bracket holder. This is reconfirmed with the MBT Boone gauge and vice versa with the bracket holder on the right central incisor. Result: This clinical innovation with the use of bracket holding plier helps prevent and minimizes the error of vertical positioning of brackets measured from the incisal edge. Conclusion: Bracket holding plier helps to prevent and minimizes error and it is an easy, convenient and simple method for bonding and reducing chair side time.&#13;
