简要总结
Patients who have severe crowding that require four premolars extraction will be treated in this study. The efficacy of the clear aligners and vestibular fixed appliances will be assessed. The treatment result of these two different methods will be explored using the Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) in two different times (T0: Before treatment, T1: After treatment) and the American Board of Orthodontics Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS) after treatment (T1).
There are two groups:
First group (Experimental): the patients in this group will be treated using clear aligners.
Second group (Control): the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances.
详细描述
For years, orthodontists and dentists have used removable appliances for orthodontic treatment. Today, with the CAD/CAM technology, clear aligners treat a broader range of cases with greater precision. They consist of a series of plastic aligners that are intended to replace conventional wire and bracket technology for many orthodontic cases. Each custom manufactured aligner exerts gentle, continuous forces to move teeth incrementally from their original state to a final, treated state. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in the American Board of Orthodontics - Objective Grading System (ABO-OGS)
时间窗: T1: one day before the commencement of treatment. T2: one day following the end of treatment (that is expected to happen within 24 months)
Eight domains are evaluated: Alignment: No more than 2 points shall be subtracted for any tooth when it is poorly aligned; Marginal Ridges: The total number of deductions shall be subtracted from 32 to give the score for this domain; Buccolingual inclination: If the mandibular lingual cusps or maxillary buccal cusps are more than 1 mm from the straight edge surface, 1 point shall be subtracted for that tooth; Occlusal Contacts: If a cusp is out of contact with the opposing arch, 1 point is subtracted for that tooth; Occlusal relationships. The total number of deductions are subtracted from 24 to give the score for occlusal relationships; Overjet; Interproximal contacts. If no interproximal spaces exist, then no points are subtracted; and Root angulation: Any deviations in roots' angulations will cause a deduction form the general score. Finally, a case that loses more than 30 points will be considered a failure. A case that loses less than 20 points will be considered acceptable.
