Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Previous studies have been conducted to test the efficiency of gummetal archwires in comparison to nickel titanium archwires in case of mild to moderate mandibular anterior crowding. There are no studies comparing alignment efficiency of gummetal archwire and copper nickel titanium archwire so far. Hence this study will be done to compare and evaluate the alignment efficiency of Nickel titanium , Copper nickel titanium and gummetal archwires in relieving mandibular anterior crowding
