About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Dental Malocclusion

Eligibility Criteria

10 Years - 17 Years (Child)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 10 to 18 years old
  • Angle Class I and Cl II (up to half cusp) molar and canine relationship.
  • Fully erupted permanent dentition (excluding third molars).
  • Crowding of 7 mm or less.
  • Must be able to maintain good oral hygiene assessed by the orthodontist during their visits.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous history of orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery
  • Subjects who require extractions or orthognathic surgery
  • Multiple missed appointments
  • Deteriorating oral hygiene and craniofacial syndromes or disorders
  • Severe gag reflex resulting from the use of intra-oral scanners

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, SUNY at Buffalo

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

BRIUS

Preadjusted edgewise full fixed appliance

Arm Description

BRIUS orthodontic appliance (wire) will be used to treat the patients. BRIUS appliance will be engaged to regular orthodontic brackets intra-orally to initiate orthodontic treatment at the University at Buffalo Orthodontic Clinic.

regular full fixed orthodontic appliance (FFA) appliances will be used to treat patients. These are regular orthodontic brackets with standard orthodontic wires used to treat patients at the University at Buffalo Department of Orthodontics

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Movement in X, Y, Z planes
absoluate measurement of extent of movement of each tooth in each plane
Little's irregularity index
Little's irregularity index could potentially be used in epidemiological surveys as a valid method to quantify change in tooth alignment less time-consuming measurement of crowding
Discomfort
Online survey will evaluate discomfort arising from the orthodontic brackets between patients in the two groups

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the Full Fixed Preadjusted appliances (regular braces) when to the BRIUS system.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized controlled trial which aims to identify the effectiveness of alignment in the BRIUS group when compared to the full fixed appliance group. The secondary aim of the study is to identify any difference in discomfort experienced by the patients when undergoing treatment using the two appliances The investigators also aim to quantify the extent of tooth movement that is achieved through each appliance within a given time frame

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
BRIUS
Intervention Description
This is a device that is designed based on movements planned virtually on a computer program. Then all the planned movements are embedded into the wire causing the wire to have the necessary bends to move every tooth into its pre-planned final position. This causes the pre-activated wire to consistently express a low force over a long period of time onto all the teeth. This allows the teeth to move into the final position and treatment progresses towards completion
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
