Malocclusion, Angle Class I
Conditions
Brief summary
It is intended to evaluate changes in arch dimensions and incisor inclination as well as changes in the WALA Ridge in no extraction patients treated with interactive self-ligating brackets (Empower®) and passive (Carriere SLX®) at the end of the phase of alignment and leveling. For this, study models and profile radiographs taken before the start of treatment and at the end of the alignment and leveling phase will be evaluated. The parameters to be measured are: intercanine distance, arch depth, upper and lower incisor inclination, and WALA ridge analysis
Interventions
Changes in the inclination of the incisors, expansion of the arches at the end of the alignment and leveling phase of the orthodontic treatment
Changes in the inclination of the incisors, expansion of the arches at the end of the alignment and leveling phase of the orthodontic treatment

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Complete permanent dentition, except third molars. * Class I malocclusion, determined by Angle ANB 2 plus or minus 2 * Visible alveolar teeth and ridges in plaster models, the latter being compatible and checked against the morphology of the WALA Ridge clinically presented by the patient. * Little index with minimum Irregularity 4-6 mm. * Patients with x-rays of initial profile and at the end of alignment and leveling in good condition.
Exclusion criteria
* Models in poor condition that do not allow measurements. * Patients who do not wish to participate in the study * Patients with cleft lip and palate * Patients with craniofacial anomalies * Patients with previous orthodontic treatment
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incisomaxillary angle | At the end of the alignment and leveling phase, an average of 8 months | Angle formed by the palatal plane and the upper incisor |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Transverse development of the upper and lower jaws | Each time wire is changed in the sequence suggested by the author, an average of 3 months | Cuspal and basal intercanine distance |
| Inclination of the lower incisor | At the end of the alignment and leveling phase, an average of 8 months | Incisal mandibular plane angle |
