Summary

A randomized clinical trial to evaluate a newly designed 3D printed miniscrew-supported molar distalization device in comparison to the conventional miniscrew-supported distal jet appliance in correction of Class II malocclusion and upper arch crowding.

Detailed description

It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two parallel arms. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: conventional miniscrew-supported distal jet appliance will be used while for group two, new 3D printed miniscrew-supported molar distalizers is going to be utilized. Lateral cephalometric x-ray and digital models of upper arch will be taken before starting the treatment (T0) and at the end of molar distalization (T1). The effectiveness of the two appliances will be assessed and measured comparing patient's records before and after treatment.

Conditions

• Tooth Movement Techniques
• Distalization by Miniscrews
