A prospective randomized trial investigating the alignment efficiency of two pre-adjusted edgewise orthodontic bracket systems
ISRCTN ISRCTN66185030
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title A prospective randomized trial investigating the alignment efficiency of two pre-adjusted edgewise orthodontic bracket systems
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source N0013154732
Study hypothesis Recently 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.
