Crowding of Anterior Mandibular Teeth
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluate the efficiency of using copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) arch wire on the initial stage of leveling and alignment regarding their rate of alignment in comparison to Conventional Nickel Titanium arch wire (NiTi) by Measuring the amount and rate of alignment achieved every 2 weeks for a period of 2 months. .
Detailed description
Leveling and alignment is the first stage in fixed orthodontic treatment, performed for every patient. Copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) was modified from conventional nickel titanium (NiTi) to stabilize the super elasticity properties of the initial nickel titanium (NiTi) arch wire against cyclic deformation. The addition of copper to traditional nickel titanium enhances thermal reactive properties and consistency of forces.so the aim of the study is to Evaluate the efficiency of using copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) arch wire on the initial stage of leveling and alignment regarding their rate of alignment.

Masking description
i) To participant (subjects): Patients can be blinded as they do not know the type of wire used. ii) To Assessor: The assessor (different than the main operator) will carry out the measurements blindly on the pre and post models.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of alignment. | 8 weeks | Measuring the amount and rate of alignment of teeth which achieved every 2 weeks for a period of 8 weeks using (mm) as numerical unit of measurement and method of measurement is '' Little's irregularity index'' |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| inter-molar arch perimeter width. | 8 weeks | measure inter-molar arch perimeter width every 2 weeks using a numerical unit of measurement (mm) through ortho analyzer 3shape software |
| inter-canine arch perimeter width | 8 weeks | measure inter canine perimeter width every 2 weeks using Unit of measurement numerical (mm) though ortho analyzer 3shape software |
| pain assessed by NRS | first 24 hours | measuring pain associated after placement of the wire through printed copy of numerical rating pain scale with a person rates their pain on a scale of 0 to 10,Zero means no pain, while 10 means the worst possible pain. |
