"Augmented Reality-Assisted Miniscrew Placement in Orthodontics: A Clinical Trial"
Sponsor: Al-Azhar University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in the placement of mini-screws (Temporary Anchorage Devices) during orthodontic treatment. By combining CBCT images with digital dental scans and visualizing them using AR, clinicians can place mini-screws more precisely. The study is a pilot clinical trial involving patients at the Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Azhar University - Assiut Branch.

Interventions
Augmented Reality
Participants in this group will undergo mini-screw placement assisted by augmented reality (AR) technology. A customized AR system will guide the clinician in real-time to ensure optimal screw positioning, improve accuracy, and minimize placement errors.
Conventional screw placement
Participants in this group will receive mini-screw placement using the conventional freehand method without augmented reality assistance. The screws will be placed according to standard clinical protocols based on anatomical landmarks and clinician experience
