Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 59 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Adults between 18 and 59 years old. With malocclusion presenting anterior and / or posterior crossbite, on deep bite. Open bite. Dental crowding. Angle class I, II and III malocclusion.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Participants with a PAR index greater than 15 and less than 30 will be excluded from the clinical trial. Presenting central or peripheral neurological disorders. They suffer trauma and / or have a tumor in the head and neck region. Have scars on target skin regions of procedures. Fear of applying electrodiagnostic tests. For those with pacemakers. Users of total or partial dentures.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The direct effect of alignment and leveling resulting from orthodontic treatment will be accompanied by the PAR index;Evaluation of the motor efficiency of the masseter muscle will be through quantization of the 3D kinematics, in algorithm that infers the neural efficiency for masticatory motor task.;Evaluation of NeuroSTim quantitative electrical sensorial tests will evaluate the Sensitivity Threshold and Reaction Time Measurements in different frequencies (5, 250 and 2,000 Hz) stimulation of sinusoidal current applied to the skin, lower lip region.;Diagnosis of motor responsiveness to electrostimulation through reobase and chronaxia.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes were defined based on the objective If the changes in the dental alignment detected by the PAR index (with a primary outcome) also have repercussions on the health status measured by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) score, weighted by domain, and the total score;in the quality of life assessed by SF-36, presenting a final score of 0 to 100
