An interventional study of miniscrews placement in Malaligned Teeth and Crowding, sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 13 Years to 25 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-01.
Sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Primary goal of this study to check the stability of miniscrews used in orthodontic treatment in order to evaluate the success of the treatment.
Aim of the study is to compare the success rate and primary stability of surface treated versus non-treated miniscrews. Stability of screws is the major concern for an orthodontist during treatment. Surface treatment actually modify the surface by making it rough resulting in increase in surface area which provide better stability.
88 studies on the registry are indexed under Crowding; 22 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is above the median of 36 across 74 interventional studies indexed under Crowding.

Ran from Jun 2024 to primary completion in Oct 2025, 15 months.
Of 50 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Crowding, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 28. This study's 15 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 52 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 28.
