Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are healthy boys and girls aged 10 to 20 with a palatally impacted canine on one side.

Probably not a fit

Patients with bilateral impacted canines or significant dental abnormalities may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of HoloLens 2 mixed reality goggles in planning the alignment of palatally impacted canines. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will receive treatment planning with the HoloLens 2 goggles, while the other will not. The study will measure treatment time and the risk of complications associated with each approach. Participants will be healthy individuals aged 10 to 20 with a specific dental condition, and they will undergo orthodontic treatment involving fixed appliances.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce treatment time and complications for patients with impacted canines.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of mixed reality technology in orthodontics is emerging, this specific application for impacted canines is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
