About this study

Official title: SmartWire Multiforce Archwire Clinical Trial

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to compare traditional CuNiTi archwires and a recently marketed multiforce version of the same material for the initial alignment and leveling of dental arches, as well as the expression of EARR in adult orthodontic patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized clinical trial utilizing multiforce and CuNiTi orthodontic archwires to align and level dental arches and compare their results. A three group double blind parallel single site study at IUSD will be used.

Patients that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited from the IUSD orthodontic clinic. The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups by the study statistician. Subjects, examiners providing subject treatment, and examiners measuring study outcomes will be blinded to treatment assignment.

Study population indicates a sample size of 105 subjects, each group containing 35 clinical subjects.

Patients will be treated with Ormco Titanium Orthos fixed appliances and defined archwire sequence according to a clinical protocol. During the six-month study period, subjects will be seen approximately every 4 (four) weeks for regular standard of care appointments that will include archwire monitoring, photography and questionnaire completions. Final study records will be taken at the end of the study period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Alignment of dental arches

    Tooth alignment rate in response to force from archwire measured in mm on dental models

    Measured: Initial six months of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Leveling of dental arches

    Depth of the Curve of Spee (CoS): percent correction during the six month initial alignment

    Measured: Initial six months of treatment

  2. Expression of external apical root resorption (EARR)

    Amount of root resorption in response to force from archwire calculated in 3D from the CBCT

    Measured: Initial six months of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Orthodontic archwire in people with Malocclusion, run by Ormco Corporation at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Alignment of dental arches (time frame: Initial six months of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jan 2019.
