Summary

Forty patients with class II division 1 malocclusion who will require extraction of the upper first premolars as a part of the orthodontic treatment plan will be invited to participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups: the electrical group and the control group. The en-masse retraction technique will be used to retract the upper anterior teeth using mini-implants as an anchor unit to provide the maximum anchorage and Nickle-Titanium closed coil springs that will be stretched from the mini-implants to the crimpable hooks on the base wire and applied 250 g of force per side.

A special removable electrical device will be used to provide electrical stimulation during the retraction phase.

The levels of pain and discomfort will be self-reported using a questionnaire with visual analog scales.

Conditions

  • Class II Malocclusion, Division 1

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical stimulation

A specific device will be used to stimulate the remodeling procedures in the alveolar bone.

PROCEDURE

Traditional retraction of the front upper teeth

The retraction will be performed using coil springs which will help in moving the anterior teeth backward without the need to employ any additional procedure or device to accelerate this movement.
