About
This is a prospective, 2-armed, randomized, multi-site clinical study to demonstrate that digital bonding is a more efficient treatment method than direct placement of brackets.
Full description
Traditional Direct bonding bonds each bracket tooth by tooth individually. 3M digital bonding tray is a custom device which can have brackets pre-loaded according to the pre-determined placement by orthodontist prior to patient's arrival to the bonding appointment. This new bonding method allows orthodontist to bond an entire arch of brackets at once, significantly reducing chair time for patients. It is anticipated that patients in digital bonding group have shorter time spent for bonding brackets, less chair time, and fewer adjustment visits than those in direct bonding group.
The treatment arm utilizes a combination of the Digital Bonding Tray and pre adhesive-coated Brackets.
The study control arm will utilize the site's standard of care brackets (pre-adhesive-coated or non-coated) directly and individually applied to teeth. Roughly half of sites will utilize pre-coated brackets and the remaining sites will use uncoated brackets.
