Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in masseter and temporalis muscle thickness measured by ultrasonography before orthodontic treatment and after six months of comprehensive fixed orthodontic treatment among average, horizontal, and vertical growersTimepoint: Change in masseter and temporalis muscle thickness measured before starting the treatment i.e baseline and 6 months after orthodontic treatment i.e T1

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
