Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. 0.2 mm space available on mesial and distal side of the tooth (with or without IPR) 2. Single rooted upper and lower anterior teeth 3. Minimum 20 aligners to be considered

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - History of trauma - Multi-rooted teeth - Teeth with endodontic rehabilitation - Teeth with prosthesis - Malformed teeth - Teeth with compromised periodontium - Teeth with ankylosis - Patient with any skeletal/cleidocranial deformities

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The mean accuracy of rotational correction with clear aligners is expected to be greater by 40% to 60% by incorporating dimples as compare to those with buccal attachments alone. However, efficacy of treatment results would improve by incorporating several adjunctive procedures like interproximal reduction and space management around the tooth of concern. Timepoint: The teeth position would be assessed at baseline and at 27 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess an Aligner System other that the most commonly used Aligner System to compare its efficacy for global scientific application.Timepoint: Predictability of tooth movement correction at the end of 20 aligners with 10 day wear time for each aligner
