The aim of research is to show the effectiveness of 0.014X0.025 CuNiTi wires in self-ligating straight-wire appliance in the working time of 10 weeks, the treatments are monitored with the Dental Monitoring® Applications. A statistical significance analysis of the correspondence between the results of the first phase of fixed orthodontic treatment (alignment), according to the type of wires used, compared to the time (about 8 weeks) suggested by the manufactory house is therefore useful to fully understand the power of these arches in the orthodontic treatment.
The study provides for the recruitment of 35 cooperating patients with different degrees of crowding, all treated with Damon System(ORMCO), monitoring them through pictures, taken in the Dental Monitoring(DM®) sequence technique, as follows: Time0: Arch-Wire Insertion (0.014x0.025CuNiTi), Time1: Four Weeks, Time2: Eight Weeks, Time3: Ten Weeks.
The results obtained will be compared with records reported by manufactory house. Our results showed that the manufacture information does not correspond to the real efficiency of the device tested. Statistical Analyses performed by T test student.
In Our experience, applying DM Application with self-ligating technique has reduced in term of number of appointments for each patient from 3 appointments in 10 weeks to 2 appointments, when the indirect bonding was effectuated and when we have inserted a 014X025 CuNiTi. This means that there is a reduction in the mean period of chair time, of material 'costs, number of visits; moreover, there is an increase in term of frequency of patient' s monitoring, resulting in a more precise evaluation of treatment by orthodontist. The limits of the present study are presented by the variable patient's compliance and by the small number of patients. This device is an instrument advantageous for the orthodontist's work. In literature, there are few articles inherent to Digital application Mobile, we will hope that this our experience represents a valid support to a major use of this application in the clinical practice.
本研究旨在展示0.014×0.025 CuNiTi丝在自锁直丝矫治器中10周治疗时间内的有效性，使用Dental Monitoring®应用程序对治疗进行监测。因此，根据所用弓丝类型，对固定正畸治疗第一阶段（排齐）结果与制造商建议时间（约8周）之间的对应关系进行统计学显著性分析，有助于充分了解这些弓丝在正畸治疗中的作用。
该研究招募了35名不同程度拥挤的合作患者，均采用Damon系统（奥美科）进行治疗，通过按照Dental Monitoring（DM®）序列技术拍摄的照片对他们进行监测，具体如下：时间0：弓丝置入（0.014×0.025 CuNiTi），时间1：四周，时间2：八周，时间3：十周。
所获得的结果将与制造商报告的记录进行比较。我们的结果表明，制造商提供的信息与所测试装置的实际效率不相符。采用学生t检验进行统计分析。
根据我们的经验，当采用间接粘结并置入0.014×0.025 CuNiTi弓丝时，运用自锁技术并使用DM应用程序可将每位患者的预约次数从10周内的3次减少至2次。这意味着平均椅旁时间、材料成本和就诊次数都有所减少；此外，患者监测频率增加，正畸医生对治疗的评估更加精确。本研究的局限性在于患者依从性存在差异以及患者数量较少。该装置对正畸医生的工作而言是一种有利工具。在文献中，关于数字移动应用的相关文章较少，我们希望我们的经验能为该应用在临床实践中的更多应用提供有力支持。
