      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: All the participants will be randomized using a dynamic randomized block design for balancing age and sex. A block randomization list will be created by https://www.sealedenvelope.com with a block size of eight.The group allocation will be carried out by an assistant not directly involved in the study only after each patient will be seated for the initial bonding appointment, and a random numerical code will be assigned to each patient at the beginning of the study based on the randomization list created before. Groups I, II, III and IV will include subjects using CMC/ACP, CMC/HA , fluoride and placebo varnish respectively, Blinding description: The patients, therapists, and the data assessors will be blinded to the type of varnish used. In this  regard, the varnish bottles’ shapes will be similar and labeled as A, B and C and D randomly by a  person not involved in this study.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: First group : Chitosan-nano hydroxyapatite. CMC will be prepared by Hangzhou New Asia Intrernational Co.,Ltd,China ). HA ( Ca10(Po4) 6(OH)2 , white powder , size of nano particles &lt; 50 nm ) will be prepared by Tamadkala (Tehran,Iran,Arminano brand). The varnish base will be prepared by mixing hydrogenerated rosin  with absolute ethanol  at a 3:1 (W/W) ratio in a closed vessel on a stirrer at room temperature for 24hours. 5% (W% ) chitosan  and 10 % (W%) nano-HA will be added to the varnish base (hydrogenerated rosin (50% W) with absolute ethanol (35% W) ) for CMC/nano-HA varnish production. Varnish application will be done at the first session and then every 3 month untill the end of the treatment. Intervention 2: Second group: Chitosan-nano Amorphous calcium phosphate. CMC will be prepared by Hangzhou New Asia Intrernational Co.,Ltd,China ). Nano Amorphous calcium phosphate will be prepared by Dr.Atai(Iran Polymer and Petrochemical institute. Tehran Province, Tehran). The varnish base will be prepared by mixing hydrogenerated rosin  with absolute ethanol  at a 3:1 (W/W) ratio in a closed vessel on a stirrer at room temperature for 24hours. 5% (W%) chitosan and 10 % (W%)  nano-ACP will be added to the varnish base (hydrogenerated rosin (50% W) with absolute ethanol (35% W) ) for CMC /nano-ACP varnish production. Varnish application will be done at the first session and then every 3 month untill the end of the treatment. Intervention 3: Third group: Flouride Varnish. 5% Ariadent floride varnish  will be prepared by Asia chemiTeb Co.(Tehran , Iran). Intervention 4: Control group: Placebo Varnish.</i_freetext>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Fluorescence assessment. Timepoint: every 3 months. Method of measurement: The teeth will be scanned carefully by the same dentist blinded as to group allocation of the subjects using probe tip B held in contact with the tooth surface and tilted around the measuring site rocking slowly in a pendulous motion so that fluorescence can be collected from all directions at 4 labial sites on the enamel (gingival, occlusal, mesial, and distal) around the brackets.The peak reading displayed on the panel of the DIAGNOdent pen during the scan will be recorded for each site of tooth surface. Then the mean of 4 sites for each tooth will be calculated and recorded. For each patient the mean scores of all 10 maxillary teeth  that are included in the study will be calculated and a mean DD reading number for each patient will be recorded.</prim_outcome>
    </primary_outcome>
    <secondary_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Visual assessment of WSL ( Gorelick assessment). Timepoint: every 3 months. Method of measurement: Before applying varnish at baseline(T0) ,3 months(T1), 6 months(T2) , 9 months(T3) and 12 months (T4) and at  the end of the treatment(T5) ,  three standardized intraoral photographs (one frontal and two laterals) will be taken by a commercial SLR camera Nikon D5300 (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) outfitted with a 24 to 85 mm macro lens and an SB29s Macro Speedlight from patients in natural head position after cleaning and drying the teeth as mentioned above. Then, the photographs will be stored on a USB device, the cropped and color-matched before-and-after images for each patient will be imported into a Power- Point (Microsoft, Redmond, Wash) slide with a black background and the presence and severity of white spot lesions will be evaluated independently by two orthodontics specialists who are blinded with regard to the  treatment group each patient belongs to. The labial surfaces of the maxillary incisors, cuspids and premolars will be assessed according to Gorelick et al.: Score 1 = no white spot formation; Score 2 = slight white spot formation (thin rim); Score 3 = excessive white spot formation (thicker bands); and Score 4 = white spot formation with cavitation.</sec_outcome>
