Impacted Canine and Mixed-reality Technology - RCT

Piotr Fudalej72 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the use of HoloLens 2 mixed reality goggles for planning alignment of palatally impacted canine reduces: 1) treatment time and 2) the risk of complications compared to planning alignment of palatally impacted canine without HoloLens 2 goggles. Participants will have an impacted canine on palatal side. Researchers will use or will not use HoloLens 2 goggles in planning therapy Participants will wear fixed orthodontic appliances for the treatment of impacted canine. During treatment, attachment will fixed to an impacted canine and the direction of traction will be established.
