Sponsor

Tabark H. Omran

Enrollment

34 participants

Start Date

Dec 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Effectiveness of the I-arch System

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the I-arch system works to align the moderately misaligned teeth in patients seeking orthodontic treatment. it aims to answer the following questions: * Does I-arch system increase the rate of teeth alignment? * Does I-arch system produce significant changes in arch width and incisors inclination? * Does I-arch system decrease the intensity of patient-reported pain and root resorption? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of the I-arch and MBT arch wire system.

Eligibility

Min Age: 12 Years

Inclusion Criteria4

  • Moderate crowding of mandibular anterior teeth (3-6 mm) according to Little's irregularity index (LII) in patients with age of 12 years or older.
  • Full complement of permanent dentition should be present, except for the third molars.
  • Brackets should be placed on maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth without any interference by the existing overbite and overjet.
  • The maxillary and mandibular incisors should not be previously subjected to trauma or root resorption.

Exclusion Criteria4

  • Patients with history of previous orthodontic treatment.
  • Severe maxillary and mandibular anterior crowding which is greater than 6 mm (LII).
  • Presence of teeth that are severely misaligned out of the dental arch and cannot be engaged with the aligning arch wire.
  • Prescence of periodontally compromised teeth and previous loss of attachment.
