Inclusion criteria
. An age ranged between 14 to 18 years.
. Class II division 1 malocclusion or Class I bimaxillary protrusion with mild or no crowding. Wherever crowding was present, it was symmetrical on both sides of the arch.
. Patients who diagnosed to require extraction of at least maxillary first premolars bilaterally as a part of their treatment plan.
. Complete permanent dentition (3rdmolars were not included).
. Good oral and general health.
. No history of periodontal problems.
. No therapeutic intervention planned involving intermaxillary or other intraoral or extraoral appliances during the study period.
Exclusion criteria
. Blocked out or impacted maxillary canines.
. Transverse and/or vertical skeletal dysplasia or craniofacial anomalies.
. Systemic diseases or regular use of medications that could interfere with orthodontic treatment.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
