Adults 18 to 25, any sex, with Class II Division 1 Malocclusion. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

Thirty-six patients requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars and en-masse retraction of upper anterior teeth will participate in the study. They will be randomly assigned into two groups: low-intensity electrical stimulation group (LIES) and traditional retraction group (TRAD) after the leveling and alignment phase is completed. En-masse retraction will be initiated in both groups via closed nickel-titanium coil springs that applying 250 g of force on each side, Mini-implants will be inserted to provide the highest level of anchorage. The skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes will be detected using lateral cephalometric radiographs, which will be obtained pretreatment, pre-, and post-en-masse retraction of the anterior teeth.
