ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different ways to treat adults with a mild type of teeth misalignment known as Class II malocclusion. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive treatment using clear aligners with special elastic bands, while the other group will use traditional metal braces with the same types of bands. The study aims to compare how well these two methods work in changing the position of teeth and the overall appearance of the mouth.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 15 and 20 years old, have a specific type of teeth misalignment with a moderate gap between the upper and lower teeth, and should not have had any previous orthodontic treatment. They should also have healthy gums and teeth. Throughout the trial, participants can expect regular check-ups to monitor their progress and the overall changes in their dental and facial structure. This study is important because it will help determine which treatment option is more effective for adults with this specific dental issue.
