Summary

In this study, two distractors will be used to retract maxillary canines into the extraction sites. The first distractor is a modified Hyrax expander with two arms soldered to two bands connected to a canine and a molar; and the second one is a similar to the first one but with the addition of a third arm.

The purpose of this investigation is to compare the two distractors in terms of: final position of the canine, canine pulp vitality, molars' anchorage, patient's acceptance to the appliance.
