What is A Randomized Clinical Trial Investigating Pain Associated with Superelastic Nickel–titanium and Multistranded Stainless Steel Archwires During the Initial Leveling and Aligning Phase of Orthodontic Treatment about?
__Objective:__To investigate and compare the effects of superelastic nickel–titanium and multistranded stainless steel archwires on pain during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment. __Design:__A double-blind two-arm parallel design stratified randomized clinical trial. __Setting:__A single centre in India between December 2010 and June 2012. A total of 96 participants (48 male and 48 females; 14.1±2.1 years old) were randomized (stratified on age, sex and initial crowding) to superelastic nickel–titanium or multistranded stainless steel archwire groups using a computer-generated allocation sequence. __Methods:__We compared 0.016-inch superelastic nickel–titanium and 0.0175-inch multistranded stainless steel wires in 0.022-inch slot (Roth prescription) preadjusted edgewise appliances. The follow-up period was 14 days. Outcome was assessed with a visual analogue scale at baseline and 32 pre-specified follow-up points. Data was analyzed using mixed-effects model analysis. __Results:__One participant was lost to follow up and 10 were excluded from the analysis due to bond failure or incomplete questionnaire answers. Ultimately, 85 participants (42 males and 43 females; 14.1±2.0 y
