Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Patients who have moderate crowding will be treated in this study. The efficacy of showing the predicted alignment of patient's teeth at the end of orthodontic treatment previously to treatment on their expectations from orthodontic treatment and their satisfaction with their teeth alignment will be assessed.

Detailed description: It is known that most patients expect that orthodontic treatment will improve their appearance which increases their confidence and self-esteem level.

The ability to approach patient's expectations to reality is crucial to making them reasonable and to improve patient's satisfaction with treatment outcomes.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Class I malocclusion with moderate crowding (between 4-6 mm of tooth-size-arch-length-discrepancy).
* Good oral hygiene and periodontal health.
* No severe skeletal discrepancy.
* Normal proclination for the upper and lower incisors.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Bimaxillary dentoalveolar severe protrusion.
* Need for extraction.
* Previous orthodontic treatment.
* Subject with psychological abnormalities.
* congenitally missing or extracted teeth (except for the third molars).
* history of previous trauma to the maxillofacial region or surgical interventions.

Primary outcomes:
measure: Change in patient's expectation towards teeth alignment:

measure: Changes in patient's satisfaction with teeth appearance
timeFrame: T1: patient's second visit to clinician to begin the orthodontic treatment and after 15 minutes of showing patient the digital simulation of their teeth alignment at the end of orthodontic treatment, T2: at the end of treatment after removing brackets
measure: Changes in patient's satisfaction with frontal teeth relationship
timeFrame: T1: patient's second visit to clinician to begin the orthodontic treatment and after 15 minutes of showing patient the digital simulation of their teeth alignment at the end of orthodontic treatment, T2: at the end of treatment after removing brackets
measure: Changes in patient's satisfaction level with teeth alignment
timeFrame: T1: patient's second visit to clinician to begin the orthodontic treatment and after 15 minutes of showing patient the digital simulation of their teeth alignment at the end of orthodontic treatment, T2: at the end of treatment after removing brackets
measure: Changes in patient's satisfaction level with teeth engagement
timeFrame: T1: patient's second visit to clinician to begin the orthodontic treatment and after 15 minutes of showing patient the digital simulation of their teeth alignment at the end of orthodontic treatment, T2: at the end of treatment after removing brackets
measure: Patient's overall satisfaction level with his teeth alignment following checking the predicated plan
timeFrame: T1: patient's second visit to clinician to begin the orthodontic treatment and after 15 minutes of showing patient the digital simulation of their teeth alignment at the end of orthodontic treatment
measure: Patient's overall satisfaction with his teeth at the end of orthodontic treatment
timeFrame: T2:at the end of orthodontic treatment after removing brackets] Patients will be asked: express your overall satisfaction with your teeth at the end of treatment.
