White spot lesions (WSLs) appear as small lines around the brackets; in some patients, they are visible as large decalcified areas with or without cavitation. Detection of WSLs after the removal of orthodontic appliances is absolutely discouraging. [2] .

To diagnose earliest stages of enamel demineralization, accurate and reliable detection of white spot lesions is very important. The newer diagnostic aids would enable the dentist to detect and diagnose early such lesions and direct appropriate preventive measures to promote remineralization and conservation of the tooth substance.

White spot lesions (WSLs), also known as early caries lesions (ECLs), are the earliest evidence of enamel demineralization and remineralization therapy is a trend in treatment [1–3]. WSLs are typically in the international caries detection and assessment system (ICDAS) II …
