Protocol summary

Summary
This study is a double-blinded randomized clinical trial and will be conducted on patients attending comprehensive orthodontic treatment. 81 patients will be included in this study. The patients will be randomly allocated into 3 groups of 27 patients, each receiving a 0.012 inch superelastic NITI archwire (Highland Metals, USA), 0.014 inch superelastic NITI archwire (Highland Metals, USA), 0.016 inch superelastic NITI archwire(Highland Metals, USA) as initial archwire. After placement of brackets( 0.022 inch slot, Roth system),initial archwires will be inserted in each group by elastomeric O'rings (American Orthodontics, USA). The method of O'rings insertion will be dependant on clinician's judgement. The variables of the study will be the amount of tooth alignment and pain peception after insertion of initial archwires. At the begining of study and before placement of brackets, impression will be taken and stone casts will be prepared to calculate the amount of irregularity index (Little's irregularity index) and vertical discrepency by digital caliper (at 0.01mm). At 4,8 and 12 weeks intervals, impressions will be taken again and the amount of irregularity index (Little's irregularity index) and vertical discrepency will be calculated. The amount of pain will be documented in each interval. The amount of pain will be evaluated subjectively using visual analogue scale.patients will be asked to determine pain severity by drawing a vertical line on the horizontal line of questionare and determine a number from 0 to 10. .the data will be analyzed by SPSS 21. At first, quantative statistical parameters will be calculated in each group and then mixed factorial ANOVA test will be used for comparison of pain amount in different intervals in three groups.if there will be significant difference, post hoc test will be used for comparison of different intervals. p<0.05 will be cosidered significant.

Intervention groups

1

Description
After placement of brackets( 0.022 inch slot, Roth system),0.012 inch nickle titanium archwires will be inserted by elastomeric O'rings (American Orthodontics, USA) in first interventional group. The method of O'rings insertion will be dependant on clinician's judgement. The variables of the study will be the amount of tooth alignment and pain peception after insertion of initial archwires. At the begining of study and before placement of brackets, impression will be taken and stone casts will be prepared to calculate the amount of irregularity index (Little's irregularity index) and vertical discrepency by digital caliper (at 0.01mm). At 4,8 and 12 weeks intervals, impressions will be taken again and the amount of irregularity index (Little's irregularity index) and vertical discrepency will be calculated. The amount of pain will be documented in each interval. The amount of pain will be evaluated subjectively using visual analogue scale.patients will be asked to determine pain severity by drawing a vertical line on the horizontal line of questionare and determine a number from 0 to 10.
