Official title
A Comparison Between TiNbTaZr (GUMMETAL) and Stainless-steel Alloy for Space Closure With Sliding Mechanics A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
When there is space present between our teeth orthodontically we have the ability to close them through many methods. Using braces as our treatment modality this study will be investigating how efficient a new orthodontic wire is in closing tooth space. This new material is trade-named GUMMETAL and claims to have many benefits to treating patients orthodontically. We will be exploring its efficiency in space closure compared to an industry standard (stainless steel). We predict that the stainless-steel orthodontic wire will be more efficient at space closure than the new GUMMETAL wires.
