Official title: Comparative 3-dimensional Superimposition Analysis of Dentition in Horizontal and Vertical Grower During the Retention Phase -A Prospective Clinical Trial''
Run by Postgraduate Institute of Dental Sciences Rohtak · NCT07622277 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether people with different facial types have different patterns of tooth movement relapse after orthodontic treatment during the retention phase.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are fixed-appliance orthodontic patients with hyperdivergent or hypodivergent facial patterns, good end-of-treatment occlusion, low irregularity, and strong retainer compliance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not fitting the inclusion criteria or with systemic conditions, TMJ disorders, incomplete treatment, poor oral hygiene, or poor follow-up are less likely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective interventional study examines how facial type (hyperdivergent vs. hypodivergent) influences relapse of dentition after active orthodontic treatment during the retention period. It uses three planes of space to analyze dental alignment changes and aims to identify whether horizontal and vertical growers show different relapse tendencies, particularly in overbite and mandibular incisor alignment. Participants will have completed orthodontic treatment, meet specific occlusal and health criteria, and will be followed to assess stability of outcomes. The study builds on retention theory and prior observations that growth and dental relapse contribute to post-treatment changes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, findings could help tailor retention strategies based on facial type to improve long-term stability.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work has explored factors affecting post-treatment stability, but this study applies a three-plane analysis to compare facial types, representing a relatively novel approach.
