What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looked at how quickly different colored and clear elastic power chains used in braces lose their pulling force. Researchers measured force decay in 96 orthodontic patients over 6 weeks. The goal was to see if color or other factors like brushing and chewing affect how well the chains work, helping dentists choose the best option.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
elastomeric power chains (orthodontic auxiliaries)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help orthodontists choose better power chains that maintain force longer, potentially improving tooth movement efficiency.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with no phase, so results may not apply broadly. Force decay depends on many individual factors like diet and oral hygiene.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged between 12-30 years. 2. Patients who are undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. 3. Orthodontic patients who underwent bilateral extraction protocol in maxillary arch. 4. Patients were in working arch wire 19×25 stainless steel. 5. Patients with moderate anchorage to ensure comparable baseline mechanics. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients indicated for orthognathic treatment. 2. Patients who reported any systemic diseases. 3. Patients with clefts or syndromes.
