Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome measure of the study is the rate of canine movement [measured in mm/month ] .The distance between the canine and the lateral incisor will be assessed at three points: incisal, middle, and cervical thirds of the crowns and average value is taken.models will be made at baseline,30th day,60th day and 90th day. VALUES WILL BE CALIBRATED UTILIZING A DIGITAL CALIPER WITH AN ACCURACY OF 0.01 mm. Timepoint: Baseline,30 days,60 days and 90 days.	—
