Clinical Comparison of Clear Aligners and Fixed Appliances in Dental Anterior Open Bite
NCT: NCT07778108 · NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Brief Summary
Dental anterior open bite is a challenging orthodontic condition with a high risk of relapse in adults. This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness and post-treatment stability of in-house clear aligners versus fixed orthodontic appliances in treating adult patients aged 18-30 years with dental anterior open bite (0 to -4 mm). A total of 46 eligible participants will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (23 treated with clear aligners and 23 with fixed appliances). Treatment outcomes, vertical dentoalveolar changes, and skeletal changes will be evaluated using digital intraoral scans, virtual model superimposition, and lateral cephalometric analysis. Following active treatment, an 8-month retention phase (bonded lingual retainer combined with a vacuum-formed retainer) and an 8-month post-retention follow-up phase will be implemented to comprehensively evaluate treatment stability and relapse tendency over a total observation period of 16 months.
