Brief Summary

| |

| --- |

|this study is a randomized triple blinded study intended to evaluate the change in root length and rot volume from pretreatment to post alignment using three different alignment archwires. total sample size is 90, each group consisting of 30 patients

90 patients seeking orthodontic treatment will be selected for the study and randomly allocated into 3 groups (n: 30 per group) as follows. Care will be taken to match the demographics for the total sample.

Group I: Copper Ni-Ti 350 c; ORMCO, Medium force equivalent

Group II: Super elastic; 3M UNITEK, High force equivalent

pretreatment and post alignment CBCT images for mandibular anterior teeth will be taken and used to evaluate the amount of root resorption

Group III: Nitinol Classic; 3M UNITEK, Extreme force equivalent.
