NCT02996292

Brief Summary

This experimental study will evaluate the effect of active and passive self-ligating brackets in treatment of crowding, compared with the control group of conventional brackets in class I malocclusion without extraction. The study sample will consist of 66 patients with 3-6mm crowding. The sample will be allocated randomly into two experimental groups, in addition to a control group. The brackets will be applied using indirect bonding method for all patients. The dentoalveolar changes occurring after leveling and alignment teeth will be assessed by using CBCT radiographs; pre and post- treatment changes for each group will be evaluated individually.
