Brief Summary

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

A randomized clinical trial to evaluate a newly designed 3D printed miniscrew-supported molar distalization device in comparison to the conventional miniscrew-supported distal jet appliance in correction of Class II malocclusion and upper arch crowding.

Detailed Description

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

It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two parallel arms. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: conventional miniscrew-supported distal jet appliance will be used while for group two, new 3D printed miniscrew-supported molar distalizers is going to be utilized. Lateral cephalometric x-ray and digital models of upper arch will be taken before starting the treatment (T0) and at the end of molar distalization (T1). The effectiveness of the two appliances will be assessed and measured comparing patient's records before and after treatment.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
The study will be a single blinded because both the patients and the investigator will be aware of the allocation during treatment, but the cephalograms and digital models will be scored and coded by an independent person, i.e. pre-and post-treatment cephalograms and digital models will be analyzed after replacing the patients' names with codes, and the examiner conducting the measurement analysis will be unaware of the group to which the patient has been allocated.
