Participant Flow

This study was terminated early. At time of study termination seven (7) subjects had been consented (started), out of which only one subject had been randomised and allocated a treatment arm (Treatment Start Visit). To report the six (6) subjects not yet assigned a treatment arm at time of early study termination, an additional Arm "Treatment Not assigned" was included.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From day 0 (Treatment start) up to 8 months post treatment start (Final visit)

Population: No subject conducted the final visit prior to early study termination. Consequently, no outcome data has been obtained in the study for this outcome and can thus not be presented.

Comparison between actual vs planned tooth movements, compared between the investigational treatment and the control device

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the final visit (2-8 months post day 0)

Population: No subject conducted the final visit prior to early study termination. Consequently, no outcome data has been obtained in the study for this outcome and can thus not be presented.

Overall subject satisfaction with the treatment assessed by a questionnaire using a rating scale from 1 to 10 (1 very satisfied - 10 very unsatisfied).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the final visit (2-8 months post day 0)

Population: No subject conducted the final visit prior to early study termination. Consequently, no outcome data has been obtained in the study for this outcome and can thus not be presented.

Overall dentist (investigator) satisfaction with the treatment assessed by a questionnaire using a rating scale from 1 to 10 (1 very satisfied - 10 very unsatisfied).

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At each follow-up visit (Follow-up visits every 4-6 weeks post Day 0 during a 2-8 months period) and at the final visit (Day 0 + 2-8 months).

Population: All subjects allocated a treatment arm (one subject in total).

The subject self-reported values pertaining to pain/discomfort during treatment and comfort in wearing the aligners captured in a questionnaire with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with a Wong Baker face scale (score 0-10), where a higher score corresponds to a higher level of pain/discomfort.
