Summary

This is a single blind randomized controlled trial with split mouth design including 45 patients with extractions of maxillary 1st bicuspids. First leveling and alignment will take place till 17 × 25 Stainless Steel wire pass passively through all the brackets. Canine retraction will be done through elastomeric ligatures maintaining force of 150gm on both sides. One of side of maxillary arch will be irradiated by diode laser (aluminum-gallium-arsenide) of 980nm on cervical, middle, and apical third on buccal and palatal surface of cuspid and the other side will act as placebo. Laser irradiation will be done at baseline and then for 3 more consecutive visits. Measurements will be recorded from maxillary canine hook to maxillary 1st molar hook at 3 weeks interval till complete canine retraction will be achieved. Patients will be given a questionnaires supported numeric scale to record their pain score for a week.
