Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of selected herbal extracts in preventing post-orthodontic relapse among patients with Class I malocclusion who have completed fixed orthodontic treatment. A total of 52 participants aged 15–28 years, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be randomly allocated into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive herbal extract–based formulations in addition to standard retention protocol, while the control group will receive standard retention protocol alone.
The primary outcome will be reduction in post-treatment relapse measured by Little’s Irregularity Index at baseline, 1 and 3 months. Secondary outcomes will include changes in gingival index and patient-reported comfort and compliance. Safety outcomes and adverse events will also be monitored at each follow-up visit.
This study will provide preliminary clinical evidence on the role of herbal extracts as a supportive adjunct in orthodontic retention and relapse prevention.
