Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In orthodontics, the teeth tend to move to the extraction space. This tooth movement becomes of larger importance when there is a crowding. During the COVID lockdown period, It was noted that some cases have a significant improvement and almost all the crowding was relieved without appliance activation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this randomized controlled trial, a sufficient number of patients would be randomly assigned into two groups; one with braces and one without fixed braces.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two groups; one with fixed braces and one without fixed braces.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors

The two groups will have lingual arches. However, patients without braces will not be informed about their braces before 5 months of trial initiation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Braces

Fixed appliance would be bonded post teeth extraction (premolars). subsequently, leveling and alignment using sequence of archwires would be followed. The measurements would be done using models each month.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Fixed appliances

Intervention Type DEVICE

MBT Brackets 0.022 inch

Without braces

Extraction of premolars and only observing the case over time. The measurements would be done using models each month.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
