Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To compare the alignment efficiency of two nickel titanium arch wire during orthodontic treatment in terms of time required to reach the working arch wire.Timepoint: At the start of treatment (T0)-Placement of 0.014 NiTi & 0.014 Cu NiTi <br/ ><br>1st month (T1)-Evaluation of 0.014 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.016 NiTi and Cu-NiTi. <br/ ><br>2nd month (T2)-Evaluation of 0.016 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.018 NiTi and Cu-NiTi <br/ ><br>3rd month (T3)-Evaluation of 0.018 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.019X0.025 NiTi & Cu-NiTi <br/ ><br>4th month (T4)-Evaluation of 0.019X0.025 NiTi & Cu-NiTi & placement of 0.019X0.025 Stainless steel for both the groups

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Assessing pain perception during orthodontic treatment in conventional NiTi vs Copper NiTi wires.Timepoint: The questionnaire recorded orthodontic pain after, 4hours, 24hours, and 1 week after each archwire change by means of a 10-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) <br/ ><br>;Assessment of root resorption during orthodontic treatement in conventional NiTi vs Copper NiTi wiresTimepoint: Assessed before and after completion of alignment <br/ ><br>at baseline and at the end of 5th month
