Interventions

Intervention1: V bend mechanics: Mesialization on 019 X 025 inch SS wire. V bend placed in gingival direction distal to the bracket of tooth mesial to extraction space. d) Protraction force given usin

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Mandibular second premolar or first molar extraction cases. 2) Missing mandibular second premolar with/without retained deciduous second molars. 3) Carious second premolar or first molar with poor prognosis. 4) No signs of spontaneous mesial posterior tooth movement due to exfoliation of the deciduous second molar on the agenesis site. 5) Treatment plan should include mandibular molar mesialization of 4mm or more. 6) No tooth size arch length discrepancy. 7) Good oral hygiene

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Missing or extracted mandibular second molars. 2) Grossly decayed mandibular second molars. 3) Patients who had received prosthetic treatment for the missing teeth. 4) Previous orthodontic treatment 5) Moderate or severe periodontitis. 6) Patients with systemic diseases, cleft lip and palate

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the rate of mandibular molar mesialization using mini-implant and V bend mechanicsTimepoint: Beginning of molar mesialization (T0) and at the end of molar mesialization (T1).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1) To compare change in inclination of mandibular molar and premolar associated with both methods. 2) To compare anchorage loss in both the methods. 3) To observe the deviation of mandibular midline during mandibular molar mesialization using mini-implant and V bend mechanics.Timepoint: Beginning of molar mesialization (T0) and at the end of molar mesialization (T1).	—
