Scientific title
Study objectivesRecently a ligature free orthodontic bracket system has been introduced. It has been suggested that reduced friction associated with this system can provide considerable benefits to the patient, principally because the teeth align more rapidly. We propose to investigate the alignment rate of two fixed orthodontic vracked systems; Ormco Damon-2 self -ligating and Ormco Synthesis conventional siamese.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOral Health
InterventionA Prospective Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial comparing Ormco Damon 2 ligature free bracket system and Ormco conventional pre-adjusted edgewise bracket system. The patients will be given a "pain diary " to complete and they will be reviewed six weekly. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Speed of alignment of the lower labial segment
2. Self reported pain or discomfort and root resorption of lower central incisors
