Aim: To assess the effects of milk tea, carbonated drink, orange juice, and artificial saliva on shear bond strength (SBS) orthodontic brackets their mode failure under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Material Methods: Eighty non-carious extracted premolars were disinfected, etched, had primer applied cured, bracket bonded with light cure composite adhesive. These teeth then immersed in separate media for 10 minutes per day three months. After which, they thermocycled subjected to stress Universal testing machine, load was recorded. Following debonding, analyzed SEM analysis using adhesive remnant Index (ARI). Data ANOVA Tukey multiple comparison tests. Results: Carbonated drink tea showed comparable which differed significantly from that juice saliva. Conclusion: most erosive effect tooth’s surface least score than other media.
