Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Tooth Movement Change

Participants will be followed for the duration of orthodontic treatment, an expected average of 78 weeks. Tooth movement change will be measured as the number of millimeters of tooth movement per aligner.

Time frame: Baseline and end of treatment, an average of 78 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Length of Treatment Change

Participants will be followed for the duration of orthodontic treatment, an expected average of 78 weeks. Length of treatment change will be measured as the number of weeks of movement per aligner.

Time frame: Baseline and end of treatment, an average of 78 weeks
