ACCURATE ORTHODONTIC BRACKETS POSITIONING WITH OR WITHOUT DENTAL MAGNIFYING LOUPES

Malaysia18 participantsStarted 2024-10-02

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the accuracy of bracket positioning on tooth facial axis of clinical crown with dental loupes (L) or without dental loupes (NL) on orthodontic patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the usage of dental loupes affect the linear measurement of the bracket positioning during bond-up in patients? 2. Does the usage of the dental loupes affect the angular measurement of the bracket positioning during bond-up in patients ? Researchers will compare group that use dental loupes and without dental loupes to a gold standard. Participants will * Be addressed a treatment plan tailored to their malocclusion. * Take an intraoral scan with an intraoral scanner 3Shape TRIOS, Copenhagen, Denmark. * Attend bond up session that was scheduled within a week time once the gold standard for individual patient was generated. * Take second intraoral scan after bracket bonding

Inclusion Criteria: * Able to maintain good periodontal health with BPE score 0,1 or 2. * Healthy teeth without fractures, abrasions, size-shape abnormalities, or poor morphology * Fully erupted and complete permanent dentition from right to left premolars on maxillary and mandibular arches. * Overbite and overjet that allowed brackets to be placed on the lower teeth without occlusal interferences. * Mild and moderate crowding \< 8.0 mm. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient with craniofacial disorders (e.g. cleft lip and palate, craniofacial syndromes) * Clinically visible dental caries, proximal restorations (Class II amalgam or composite), build-ups, crowns, onlays that affect the tooth's mesiodistal diameter. * Patients that required maxillary and mandibular anterior tooth extraction * Congenital defects or deformed teeth * Obvious interproximal or occlusal wear of teeth * Severe crowding (severe overlapping unable to place bracket) * Infraocclusion, gingival hyperplasia * Patient that requires sectional mechanics or brackets swapping mechanics in orthodontic treatment. * Traumatic extraction
