Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Canine retraction rate in two maxillary quadrants using orthodontic piezo, laser and laser + piezo. Timepoint: In the samples of piezocision operation, measurements are made at the beginning of the study (before the intervention), 3, 6 and 9 weeks after the intervention on both control and operation sides (the piezocision operation is performed only once.) In the sample Laser measurements are performed at the beginning of the study, at weeks 3, 6 and 9. (The laser is irradiated on the first day and weeks 3 and 6.) In the combination group, 2 measurement methods are similar to the previous two methods at the beginning, week 3, 6 and 9 are performed. (In this group, the piezocision operation is performed once on the first day and the laser is irradiated on the first day and weeks 3 and 6). Method of measurement: Scan of casts at 3, 6 and 9 weeks and measuring the amount of movement compared to the initial time.
