Active clinical trials for "Malocclusion"

Patients who have moderate crowding will be treated in this study. The efficacy of showing the predicted alignment of patient's teeth at the end of orthodontic treatment previously to treatment on their expectations from orthodontic treatment and their satisfaction with their teeth alignment will be assessed.

This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of flapless laser corticotomy on the rate of canine retraction.

There is a scarcity in literature regarding the influence of maxillary third molar on distalization . This study aimed to compare the influence of unerupted maxillary third molars and their extraction on the bilateral distalization of upper first molars using the infra-zygomatic gear distalizer

The purpose of this study is to examine the amount of tooth movement achieved over time between subjects undergoing aligner treatment using a pulsation device known as AcceleDent® Aura with those not using the device.

To test whether levels of OPG can be changed during orthodontic treatment. Alveolar bone samples will be collected from partially impacted third molars after orthodontic uprighting for different period of time in volunteers. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry analysis for OPG and RANKL will reveal their roles in this physiological process.

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is an orthodontic treatment based on the principle of opening the midpalatal suture with the effect of orthopedic forces. The aim of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate and compare the effects of tooth-borne, tooth-tissue borne, and bone-borne rapid maxillary expanders on nasal airway by using AR. The null hypothesis was that there is no difference for the effect on nasal airway between the appliances.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of pain, discomfort and acceptance between two treatment modalities of Class III correction of growing patients in the late mixed dentition period.

Early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusions with skeletal and dentoalveolar imbalances, represents a continuous dilemma. This difficulty starts from their meticulous diagnosis and treatment planning till reaching satisfactory results and finally stability. Some appliances could be used to correct growing skeletal Class III patients, improving the skeletal and dentoalveolar relationships, creating proper conditions for final orthodontic treatment, more importantly avoiding surgery. These appliances remove patient compliance from the equation.

Patients who have severe crowding that required four premolars extraction will be treated in this study. The effects of clear aligners therapy on oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) in comparison with vestibular fixed appliances using the validated OHIP-14 tool during orthodontic treatment. So the aim of the study was to compare the changes in OHRQoL between patients receiving clear aligners or fixed appliances during the first year of the orthodontic treatment. There are two groups: First group (Experimental): the patients in this group will be treated using clear aligners. Second group (Control): the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances.

This study evaluates the cephalometric effects of a clear mandibular advancement appliance for the treatment of skeletal class II growing patients suffering from mandibular deficiency.
