Clinical Trial Summary

This study protocol is for a randomised clinical trial which aims to test two materials used as orthodontic archwire to compare FireWire archwires to Copper Nickel Titanium (CNiTi) archwires. Both professional and patient related outcome measures are to be used to fully evaluate performance.


Description:

This is a randomised clinical trial of Firewire and CNiTi as orthodontic aligning archwires. A two group single blind parallel multicentre study design in a National Health Service primary care setting in England will be used. Patients will be recruited from those attending the practices for orthodontic treatment that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Online randomisation will allocate to one of the two groups, stratified by centre and age group (adolescent / adult). Sample size calculation indicates a total sample size of 42, but allowing for dropouts and missing data the investigators will recruit 64, 32 to each group. Patients will be treated according to a strict clinical protocol including customised Damon Q fixed appliances and defined archwire sequence. Participants will be seen at initial 5 week intervals for data collection after new archwire placement, and otherwise at routine 10 week intervals. Primary outcome data (rate of alignment) will be collected over the initial 10 weeks and secondary outcomes over the duration of the treatment (18 months approx).
