ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to attach braces using 3D printed trays. The researchers want to see how accurately the brackets (the small pieces that hold the wires) are positioned when using two different designs of these trays. The study will involve two groups of 15 participants each, all of whom will have mild to moderate crowding of their teeth but no missing or deformed teeth.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between the ages of 17 and 30, have all their permanent teeth, and maintain good oral health. Those who need tooth extractions or have dental issues like fractures or crowns won't be able to join. If you participate, you can expect to have the braces applied using the 3D printed trays, and the researchers will compare how well the brackets are placed against what was planned. This study is currently recruiting participants, and your involvement could help improve orthodontic treatments for others in the future.
