Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The combined procedure of micro-osteoperforation and the use of electric toothbrush results in a significantly increased rate of orthodontic tooth movement with minimal adverse dentoalveolar effects compared to that of the conventional methods.Timepoint: The initial sample will be obtained from both sides of the canine region before retraction (T0). Subsequent samples will be collected on day 1 (T1), day 7 (T2), day 14 (T3), day 30 (T4), day 60 (T5) after the start of canine retraction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The overall time for orthodontic treatment will be reduced.Timepoint: 24 Months
