| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the alignment efficiency of two nickel titanium arch wire during orthodontic treatment in terms of time required to reach the working arch wire.Timepoint: At the start of treatment (T0)-Placement of 0.014 NiTi & 0.014 Cu NiTi 1st month (T1)-Evaluation of 0.014 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.016 NiTi and Cu-NiTi. 2nd month (T2)-Evaluation of 0.016 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.018 NiTi and Cu-NiTi 3rd month (T3)-Evaluation of 0.018 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.019X0.025 NiTi & Cu-NiTi 4th month (T4)-Evaluation of 0.019X0.025 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.019X0.025 Stainless steel for both the groups | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessing pain perception during orthodontic treatment in conventional NiTi vs Copper NiTi wires.Timepoint: The questionnaire recorded orthodontic pain after, 4hours, 24hours, and 1 week after each archwire change by means of a 10-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ;Assessment of root resorption during orthodontic treatement in conventional NiTi vs Copper NiTi wiresTimepoint: Assessed before and after completion of alignment at baseline and at the end of 5th month | — |
