Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| I. Incisor position change This will be assessed using lateral cephalograms and estimated with the following variables Linear variables (in mm) 1. L1i to NB 2. L1i to SN perpendicular at S 3. L1a to SN perpendicular at S 4. L1 Incisal tip movement or L1 apex movement 5. L1i to Go-Me 6. L1i to SN Angular variables (in degrees) 1. L1 to NB 2. IMPA II. Perceived pain as reported by the participant on a 100 mm long Visual Analogue Scale. The number of 500 mg Paracetamol tablets consumed by the patient during the assessment period will also be estimated and used as a second marker of perceived pain Timepoint: Incisor position changes will be assessed using lateral cephalogram at Baseline and after eight weeks Perceived pain will be recorded at 3 hours, 8 hours, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 and 30th day after insertion of archwire. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Alignment efficiency, estimated as the calculated as the change in Littles irregularity index (in mm) divided by the duration of assessment (in months) 2. Leveling Efficiency, estimated as the change in Curve of Spee (in mm) divided by the duration of assessment (in months) 3. Bond failures, recorded as the total number of bond failures during the entire study period.Timepoint: T0- At Baseline T1- After eight weeks | — |
