Orthodontic Appliance Complication
Conditions
Brief summary
The current clinical study will be done for evaluation of maxillary canine retraction assisted with application of two different methods of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound.
Interventions
The total sample will be randomly divided into two equal groups (according to method of application of the lipus on the intervention side)as follows: ■ Group I: will include 8 patients who will receive lipus with maxillary canine retraction that will be performed every (3 weeks) on intervention 6 sides according to a standardized protocol. ▪ Group II: will include 8 patients who will receive lipus that will be performed every (1 week) on intervention sides according to a standardized protocol.
