Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study is a clinical trial to evaluate and compare the rate of orthodontic tooth movement in patients undergoing en-masse retraction with and without Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) application.
The patients requiring all first bicuspid extraction are to be included. Retraction is to be performed using NiTi closed coil springs attached from hooks between canine and lateral incisors to hooks on molars.
The amount of space closure is to be recorded every month by measuring the space remaining between canine and second bicuspid in all four quadrants.
