Comparison Between the Effectiveness of Different Commercial Bracket Brands

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Crowding, Tooth, Class I
• Interventions: Other: Brackets

• Registration Number: NCT05333094
• Lead Sponsor: Future University in Egypt

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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
American orthodontics brackets	Brackets	Roth prescription, 0.022" slot size
FANTA brackets	Brackets	Roth prescription, 0.022" slot size
MATT brackets	Brackets	Roth prescription, 0.022" slot size

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Tip	From 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)
torque	3 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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Levelling and alignment	upto 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)
