Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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 Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary outcomes were defined based on the objective<br>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
