This comparative controlled clinical study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of piezocision and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as adjunctive interventions to accelerate orthodontic canine retraction. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: piezocision, LLLT, or a control group (no adjunctive procedure). The study will assess the impact of these interventions on the rate of tooth movement, the type of tooth movement, and patient experience.
