Brief summary
Primary goal of this study to check the stability of miniscrews used in orthodontic treatment in order to evaluate the success of the treatment.
Detailed description
Aim of the study is to compare the success rate and primary stability of surface treated versus non-treated miniscrews. Stability of screws is the major concern for an orthodontist during treatment. Surface treatment actually modify the surface by making it rough resulting in increase in surface area which provide better stability.
