Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) female patients between 12 and 20 years of age having a mandibular irregularity index greater than 5 in the lower anterior segment, (2) extraction treatment with two first premolars in mandibular arch, (3) class I skeletal pattern, (4) eruption of all mandibular teeth except third molars with no spacing between them, (5) no relevant medical history, (6) no recent history of intake of drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (7) no previous active orthodontic treatment, (8) full arch mechanics, preadjusted edgewise appliance therapy, and (9) no therapeutic intervention planned involving intermaxillary or other intraoral or extraoral appliances during the study period
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: (1) developmental anomalies in the dentition, (2) abnormal root morphology in lower arch, (3) patients who have experienced periodontal disease and loss of attachment, and (4) participants were told to avoid intake of drugs during the study period and if they were taking any drugs because of unavoidable circumstances, they were requested to report the matter with the intention to exclude them
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome was the evaluation of alignment efficiency of 0.016â?? six stranded coaxial tubular superelastic NiTi wire by comparing with 0.016â?? single stranded superelastic NiTi in relieving mandibular anterior crowding over a period of 12 weeks.Timepoint: 12 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome was whether the alignment efficiency differed as the irregularity increased. No changes to the methods or no outcome changes occurred after trial commencement.Timepoint: 12 weeks | — |
