| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The study was conducted with the following objectives: 1.To examine the levels for Ostepontin in GCF for root resorption in both treatment techniques through ELISA at different time intervals (prior to orthodontic treatment and after the levelling and alignment stage). 2. To examine and compare root resorption between two groups using periapical radiography (along with grid to measure root resorption) at two different time intervals. | — |
