Participant Flow

Recruitment began August, 2021 and final data collection was completed in June, 2022. Patients were recruited from 3 orthodontic practices. Units enrolled are counted as numbers of teeth. Potentially, 2 maxillary lateral incisors from each patient could have been enrolled.

Unit of analysis: Teeth
