Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare rate of tooth movement in friction and frictionless group during en-masse retraction of maxillary anteriors in orthodontic patients.Timepoint: At the start of retraction(T0), At each monthly interval, Till the completion of retraction(T1)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the anchorage loss in friction and frictionless group during en-masse retraction of maxillary anteriors in orthodontic patients.Timepoint: At the start of retraction(T0) At the completion of retraction(T1);To compare the intrusion of anterior teeth in friction and frictionless group during en-masse retraction of maxillary anteriors in orthodontic patients.Timepoint: At the start of retraction(T0) At the completion of retraction(T1)
