Conditions: Other specified disorders of teethand supporting structures,

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/07/055195

Lead Sponsor: Science and Engineering Research Board

Brief Summary: This is a non-randomized prospective controlled clinical study comparing the effectiveness and duration of orthodontic treatment with direct 3D-printed clear aligners and traditional fixed labial orthodontic appliances in 20 patients with mild-to-moderate malocclusion. The primary outcome measure will be the assessment of treatment outcome using dental models, panoramic, and cephalometric radiographs. The secondary outcome will be the determination of time taken to complete the orthodontic treatment with the respective modality.
