Summary

This clinical study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Elastics and Elastic chains in maxillary canine retraction. Participants of this study were patients undergoing maxillary canine retraction after first premolar extraction. The study aimed to determine an effective method for better controlling tooth movement.

This study was initiated on 01-2024. Initially, I was not aware of the importance of early registration on ClinicalTrials.gov. Registration was completed after the study began to ensure transparency and adherence to ethical guidelines. All study procedures and protocols have been conducted under the supervision of the academic advisor. All study procedures and protocols have been followed according to institutional and ethical guidelines

Conditions

  • Elastic Chains
  • Elastics

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Elastomeric chain

Elastic chain used to apply force that is capable of canine retraction. The chains were attached between canine bracket and molar band on the side that selected Randomly.

PROCEDURE

Elastics

Elastics were used to bring a continuous force for maxillary canine retraction in orthodontic patients. Elastics were stretched between the canine bracket and the molar band to retract the canine distally
