Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Salivary levels of RANKL and OPG will be measured through an ELISA-based capture assay by using the commercial kits (Bioassay™ technology laboratory) HUMAN RANKL ELISA and OPG ELISA (At Biochemistry laboratory, AIIMS JODHPUR) following the manufacturer’s instructionsTimepoint: concentration will be measured in these time points; before bonding (T0), after levelling and alignment and just before application of retraction force (T1), 2 weeks after application of retraction force (T2), 6-7 weeks after application of retraction force (T3) and 10-11 weeks after application of retraction force | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Rate of tooth movement will be calculated clinically, in terms of distance between cusp tip of maxillary canines and mesiobuccal cusp tips of maxillary first molars, with the help of vernier caliperTimepoint: Alginate impression will be taken at given time poins before bonding (T0), after levelling and alignment and just before application of retraction force (T1), 2 weeks after application of retraction force (T2), 6-7 weeks after application of retraction force (T3) and 10-11 weeks after application of retraction force | — |
