Who can join

Adults 16 to 25, any sex, with Class II Malocclusion. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

Thirty-eight patients requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars and maximum anchorage to retract the upper anterior teeth will participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups: electrical group and control group. In each group, en-masse retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 250 g of force per side, Mini-implants will be used as an anchor unit. The dental changes will be detected using dental casts and to evaluate the rate of teeth retraction.
