Comparison of Efficacy of Three Orthodontic Appliances
Comparison of Clinical Efficacy of Three Class II Correctors in Orthodontics, Prospective Expertise Matched Controlled Trial
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Patients and materials: The patient population will consist of patients age 10-16 that have, or are close to having, a full permanent dentition, and present to the clinic with Class II malocclusions with more than 1/2 unit II molar relationship. (Normal or deep overbite cases are also included). The treatments to be compared are the three (routinely-used) orthodontic appliances: Twin Block, Herbst and Frog.
Hypothesis: The principal (null) hypothesis is that there is no difference between the three appliances in terms of their effectiveness, efficiency and compliance.
Study design: The study is designed as a multicentre, Prospective Expertise Based Matched Controlled Longitudinal Trial and the assessments will be longitudinal in time.
All patients that consent/assent to be part of the study (and their parents) will receive an information leaflet about the study and will be asked to sign an assent form. Patients are free to discontinue treatment if they wish to do so. The normal length of orthodontic treatment is between 18 and 24 months. Assessments will be taken prior to treatment and throughout the treatment period, with regular progress reviews every 3 months, as per standard practice.
Outcomes: The principal outcome for efficiency is the time taken for completion of treatment. The principal outcomes for effectiveness are the clinical progress, discomfort (caused by the appliance to the patient) and compliance.
Clinical progress will be assessed by measuring tooth movement on each review appointment, using radiographic examination (DPT and lateral cephalograms). Each patient will record discomfort in a visual analogue scale (VAS or Likert scale)and compliance by writing the days the appliance was not in the mouth for any reason.
Covariates: Socio-economic variables: age, gender, etc.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Twin Block
61 patients will receive the Twin Block appliance (one of the three appliances being studied)
|
To study which of the three orthodontic appliances does achieve the best clinical progress, produce least discomfort to the patient, minimize the time taken for completion of treatment and maximize compliance.
|
Active Comparator: Herbst
61 patients will receive the Herbst appliance (one of the three appliances being studied)
|
To study which of the three orthodontic appliances does achieve the best clinical progress, produce least discomfort to the patient, minimize the time taken for completion of treatment and maximize compliance.
|
Active Comparator: Frog distalising appliance
61 patients will receive the Frog distalising appliance (one of the three appliances being studied)
|
To study which of the three orthodontic appliances does achieve the best clinical progress, produce least discomfort to the patient, minimize the time taken for completion of treatment and maximize compliance.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of participants who have experienced discomfort related to wearing the appliance
Time Frame: 18-24 months
|
This is to check which appliance produces more discomfort compared to the other appliances using the Likert scale.
Each question on the scale asks to rate the pain as either (no pain, slight pain, moderate pain, severe pain) or (strongly disagree, disagree, agree, strongly agree).
Patients will choose a response which matches their experience.
|
18-24 months
|
establishing which appliance has the fastest completion time
Time Frame: 18-24 months
|
The three appliances will be compared in 'months' from the start of treatment till the completion of treatment to see which is the fastest to achieve the end result
|
18-24 months
