Brief summary

There's a scarcity in literature concerning the comparison of the effectiveness of brackets in its torque and tip ability, the time takes for leveling and alignment comparing between different orthodontic bracket brands, and its effect on the rate of tooth movement. The purpose of this study is to determine, In orthodontic patients with Class I molar relation and teeth crowding, in which different bracket brands will be compared.

Detailed description

Bracket effectiveness can be measured in a variety of ways, including torque, tip, time required for levelling and alignment, bracket failure, and the patient's visual analogue scale. All are viable options; therefore, we want to complete the orthodontic treatment and determine which brackets fulfilled the built-in bracket prescription and achieved success in terms of aesthetics, better smiles, better patient judgement, and function.

Interventions

OTHERBrackets

Levelling and alignment for the bonded teeth through following the wire sequence: 0.014 NiTi, 16 NiTi, 0.016×0.022 NiTi and 0.017×0.025 StSt. (Wires from American Orthodontics) • After levelling and aligning is completed the patient will be referred for the uptake of post intervention records; a standardized dental photograph and CBCT after 6- 9 months)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
TipFrom pre to post levelling and alignment (an average of 6 - 8 months)The principle investigator will examine pre and post CBCT radiographs in relation to lines and reference planes (measurements in degrees and mm)
torque3 months after reaching 19x25 stainless steel wire (an average of 6 - 8 months)The principle investigator will examine pre and post CBCT radiographs in relation to lines and reference planes (measurements in degrees and mm)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Levelling and alignmentupto 6 months from the start of orthodontic treatment.The incisal edges of the anterior teeth and the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth are placed on the same horizontal level; and alignment is the lining up of teeth of an arch in order to achieve normal contact point relationships will be assessed by measuring Little's Irregularity Index (LII) using study models taken of the patients (measured in mm)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain of interventionFrom pre to post levelling and alignment (an average of 6 - 8 months)Each patient will fill a questionnaire regarding his treatment experience in a VAS scoring from 1-10
