结局指标
主要结局
Change in Orthodontic Plaque Index
时间窗: First assessment time: one day before the commencement of the trial. Second assessment time: four months after the commencement of orthodontic treatment
The plaque accumulation is measured using the Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI) Dental plaque is going to be disclosed using a disclosing solution (Mira-2-Ton®, Hager \& Werken GmbH \& Co. KG, Duisburg, Germany) after the last brushing then immediately after cleansing. The dentition is divided into sextants, and the highest score of plaque accumulation per sextant is going to be assigned. The OPI for a patient was determined by calculating the average.
