简要总结
this study aimed to compare the effects of fixed orthodontic treatment and clear aligner therapy on root resorption, periodontal status, pain experience and chewing performance.
详细描述
The aim of the study is to compare the potential side effects of fixed orthodontic treatment and clear aligner therapy. 27 individuals who were treated with clear aligners (20 Female, 7 Male; mean age: 22.57 ± 7.37) and 22 patients treated with braces (14 Female, 8 Male; mean age: 17.05 ± 4.51) formed the study group. The periodontal statuses of the patients(Probing depth, bleeding on probing, plaque index) were evaluated before treatment (T0), 3 months (T1) after, and at 6th month (T2) following the beginning of the treatment. The amount of root resorption in maxillary & mandibular incisors was evaluated on periapical radiographies taken with the paralleling technique. Pain experience and chewing function were also recorded during treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcomes of the study were pain scores and chewing performance scores.
时间窗: 0-1 months
The Visual Analog Scale has been used to evaluate pain scores and chewing performance. According to this scale, high scores represent good masticatory performance and high pain. Low scores represent poor masticatory performance and low pain.
