Summary

The aims of this study were to: -

* Evaluate PBF in upper and lower teeth during orthodontic alignment using fixed appliances (0.014" super elastic NiTi arch wire) at different time intervals (20min, 48h, 72h and 1 month) of initial arch wire placement.
* Evaluate the PBF in upper and lower teeth during orthodontic teeth alignment using clear aligners at different time intervals (20min ,48h, 72h and 1 month) of fitting the second aligner (first active aligner).
* Compare the PBF changes between the above two different types of orthodontic appliances (fixed appliances and the clear aligners).

Interventions

OTHER

Orthodontic Alignment

Group 1:- Teeth alignment in this group started using round 0.014" NiTi arch wire. The 0.014" NiTi arch wire was placed into the slots of the brackets and tied with elastomers by figure of 8. During this stage, only tipping movement was applied.
