About

The aim of this Randomized clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of the double slot brackets compared to single slot-brackets in producing a controlled rate of upper canine retraction into premolar extraction space.

patients will be randomly divided into one of the two groups, CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) and dental models will be taken for each patient Pre-retraction and following the study completion.

The rate of retraction will be evaluated for both groups as well as Amount of canine root movement and molar anchorage loss will be also assessed.

Full description

Eligible patients will be examined for fulfilling the inclusion criteria. All the recruited patients need extraction of upper first premolars followed by canine retraction with maximum anchorage.

The patients will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups; either Double slot brackets or single slot-brackets group.

In Double slot bracket group, Canine retraction will be made on two 0.016'' StSt (stainless steel) round wires, each in one of the slots of the double slot brackets. while in single slot-bracket group, Retraction will be made on one 0.017''×0.025'' rectangular StSt arch wire .

The patients will be seen on a monthly basis for follow up visit for reactivation of retraction to maintain constant force during the study. An impression will be taken for the patients every visit, fabricated dental models will be digitally scanned. The scanned models will be used to monitor the rate of canine retraction.

Every patient will be asked to take a CBCT image of the upper arch pre Retraction and after the completion of study duration (3 months). After data collection, assessors will carry on the measurements blindly. Statistical analysis of the data will be done and the results will be compared to evaluate the effectiveness of both techniques for canine retraction.
