AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Post-pubertal female patients.
* Cases with bimaxillary protrusion or Class II Division 1 malocclusion that require maxillary first premolars extraction.
* Full permanent dentition (not necessitating third molars).
* Good oral hygiene.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Medically compromised patients.
* Active periodontal disease or obvious bone loss in the maxillary arch.
* Patients with habits that are detrimental to dental occlusion (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting).
* Smoking or any systemic diseases.
* Chronic use of any medications including antibiotics, phenytoin, cyclosporine, anti-inflammatory drugs, systemic corticosteroids, and calcium channel blockers. All the above factors affect the rate of tooth movement
* Previous orthodontic treatment.
* Missing teeth.
