 Each new patient that comes to the orthodontic clinic at the University of Connecticut Health center is assigned to a resident or a faculty. So the treating doctor will screen the new patient to see whether they need orthodontic treatment or not. If the patient requires orthodontic treatment, the patient has an additional appointment for collecting orthodontic records to develop the treatment plan. Once the treatment plan is formulated, the patient returns to discuss the treatment options and to begin the placement of orthodontic appliances. At this point the patient is ready for appliance placement and the study coordinator will screen orthodontic patient for possible inclusion in the study by checking the inclusion criteria discussed later. If the patients were suitable for inclusion, the study will be described in detail to them, and written information will be given to them.
