  1. The ARI scale has a range between 0 and 3. 0, indicates that no bonding resin on the tooth; 1, indicates that less than half of the bonding resin remained on the tooth; 2, indicates that more than half of the bonding resin remained on the tooth and 3, indicates that all bonding resin remained on the tooth, with a distinct impression of the bracket mesh
