No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients at the Orthodontic Department of University of Damascus Dental School will be examined and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be admitted then the initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum samples - internal and external oral photographs as well as radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched.

The aim of this study is to compare three groups of patients with severe crowding of the upper anterior teeth:

* Group 1 : Patients will be treated using self-ligating brackets
* Group 2 : Patients will be treated using self-ligating brackets associated with flapless corticotomy.
* Group 3 : Patients will be treated using traditional brackets (i.e. brackets positioned on the labial surface of the teeth)

At the end of leveling and aligning phase, we will compare the self-ligating brackets and traditional brackets ( the acceleration of teeth movement, dental and alveolar changes and other variables ) Also, there is an intention to study the effectiveness of using flapless corticotomy with the self-ligating brackets.

Conditions

  • Malocclusion of Anterior Teeth

Interventions

DEVICE

Self-Ligating Brackets

These brackets can be opened and closed through the use of a sliding cap embedded into the design of these brackets. There is no need to use elastic modules to ligate the arch.

DEVICE

Traditionally-Ligated Brackets

These brackets are used in the conventional manner, where the orthodontist is obliged to use elastic modules to engage the arch into the slot of the bracket.

PROCEDURE

Corticotomy

Corticotomy without flap elevations will be performed in order to induce acceleration in tooth movement during the orthodontic treatment in only one group.
