Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is comparing two software tools for analyzing 3D images of impacted canines — how might the results of this comparison actually affect the treatment plan recommended for my specific situation?
2Since this is an observational study focused on measurement accuracy rather than testing a new treatment, does participating involve any additional scans or procedures beyond what I would already need for my care?
3The study is enrolling by invitation only — what criteria are being used to select participants, and is my case considered a good fit based on the position or severity of my impacted canine?
4If the 3D Slicer software being evaluated here turns out to be more or less accurate than the commercial software, how could that influence the way my doctor measures and tracks my impacted canine going forward?
5Are there standard treatments for impacted maxillary canines that I should be considering alongside or instead of participating in this observational study, since the study itself isn't testing a new therapy?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
