Aim: The aim of the study is to compare the efficiency of six-stranded coaxial tubular superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwire and a single-stranded wire in relieving anterior mandibular crowding.
Materials And Methods: This double-blind randomized study included 40 patients, categorized into two groups: Sentalloy round group and Speed tubular supercable group (20 each). After taking alginate impressions, the allocated archwire was engaged.
Objectives: To compare the alignment efficiency of coaxial tubular and single-stranded 0.016" superelastic NiTi archwires in relieving mandibular anterior crowding in extraction cases and to evaluate whether alignment efficiency differed as the initial irregularity increased.
Setting And Sample Population: Forty female patients aged between twelve and twenty years from the postgraduate orthodontic clinic at the authors' centre.
