To evaluate occlusal force distribution, contact points, and timing parameters in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment compared to untreated controls.
Enrolled 43 individuals undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment and 20 untreated controls evaluated at baseline (T0) and after 6 months (T1).
Measured contact points, centric and lateral occlusal force distribution, and occlusion/disclusion times using the T-Scan computerized Occlusion Analyzer.
Analyzed within-group and between-group differences using independent or paired t-tests and Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
Baseline comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences in any occlusal variables between the treatment and control groups (P > 0.05).
Comparisons between baseline (T0) and 6 months (T1) demonstrated no significant alterations in anterior-to-posterior or right-to-left quadrant occlusal force distribution, lateral movement forces, or occlusion and disclusion duration (P > 0.05).

Implication

Prospective clinical study reveals stable occlusal force parameters during fixed orthodontic treatment, suggesting computerized bite analysis effectively monitors bite balance.
