About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Class II molar relationships bilaterally, with fully erupted 2nd molar.

No or minor crowding on the mandible to [reserve Class I posterior occlusion after treatment.

Good oral health free from caries and periodontal problems at the start of treatment.

Disqualifiers

Previous history of orthopedic and/or orthodontic treatment.

Patients with cleft lip and palate and/or craniofacial syndrome

Patients with bad oral habit.

Active periodontal disease.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The rate of molar Distalization

• The efficiency of molar distalization in terms of the amount of molar distalization, degree of distal tipping and bodily translation movements by using a lateral cephalogram linear and angular measurements.

Time frame
6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Patient discomfort

• Patient's pain and discomfort using visual analogue scale (VAS). The minimum score is zero and the maximum score is 10.

Time frame
10 days
2
