Exclusion criteria: 1 Patients with severe crowding in maxillary arch. 2 Patients requiring absolute anchorage where mini-implants may be desired. 3 Missing permanent teeth other than third molars. 4 Patients with any systemic disease or syndromes or any other craniofacial abnormalities. 5 Patient under medications that may affect orthodontic tooth movement.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate the external apical root resorption in the maxillary anterior teeth using cone beam computed tomography taken pre (T0) and at the end of the space closure (T1) with modified intrusion and retraction mechanics.Timepoint: Pre Retraction (T0)(Before space closure - 0 months ) Post Retraction (T1)( After space closure- 12 months)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate change in buccal & palatal crestal bone height after completion of retraction. To evaluate change in buccal & palatal alveolar bone thickness of the maxillary anterior teeth after completion of retraction.Timepoint: Pre Retraction (T0)(Before space closure -0 months) Post Retraction (T1)(After space closure- 12 months).	—
