Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Rate of canine retraction	3 months	The digital models will be superimposed using 3rd ruguae area. For each model, the distal point of the canine will be marked and the distance between 2 points will be calculated. The amount of canine retraction per month will be calculated from the difference in the canine cusp position in the four models.; The digital models will be superimposed using 3rd ruguae area.
