Clinical Trial Summary

Evaluate the efficiency of using copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) arch wire on the initial stage of leveling and alignment regarding their rate of alignment in comparison to Conventional Nickel Titanium arch wire (NiTi) by Measuring the amount and rate of alignment achieved every 2 weeks for a period of 2 months. .

Description:

Leveling and alignment is the first stage in fixed orthodontic treatment, performed for every patient. Copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) was modified from conventional nickel titanium (NiTi) to stabilize the super elasticity properties of the initial nickel titanium (NiTi) arch wire against cyclic deformation. The addition of copper to traditional nickel titanium enhances thermal reactive properties and consistency of forces.so the aim of the study is to Evaluate the efficiency of using copper nickel titanium (CuNiTi) arch wire on the initial stage of leveling and alignment regarding their rate of alignment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Rate of alignment.	Measuring the amount and rate of alignment of teeth which achieved every 2 weeks for a period of 8 weeks using (mm) as numerical unit of measurement and method of measurement is '' Little's irregularity index''	8 weeks
Secondary	inter-canine arch perimeter width	measure inter canine perimeter width every 2 weeks using Unit of measurement numerical (mm) though ortho analyzer 3shape software	8 weeks
Secondary	pain assessed by NRS	measuring pain associated after placement of the wire through printed copy of numerical rating pain scale with a person rates their pain on a scale of 0 to 10,Zero means "no pain," while 10 means "the worst possible pain."	first 24 hours
Secondary	inter-molar arch perimeter width.	measure inter-molar arch perimeter width every 2 weeks using a numerical unit of measurement (mm) through ortho analyzer 3shape software	8 weeks
