Patient-reported Outcomes of Accelerated Upper Canine Retraction With Low-amperage Electrical Stimulation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electric stimulation removable appliance and Traditional orthodontic fixed appliance without accleration for Class II Division 1 Malocclusion. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients will be screened in the Orthodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry, Damascus University, and those who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, the initial diagnostic records (diagnostic plaster casts, intra- and extra-oral photographs, and radiographs) will be studied to ensure the selection criteria are accurately met. This study aims to compare two groups of patients with Class II malocclusion. Experimental Group: Patients in this group will undergo maxillary canine retraction using the traditional sliding technique with fixed appliances, supplemented by electrical current stimulation. Control Group: Patients in this group will undergo maxillary canine retraction using the traditional sliding technique with fixed appliances, without any acceleration method.

Timeline
Interventions
The device will be used with the fixed appliance to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (i.e., canine retraction).
The traditional method of canine retraction will be employed using fixed appliances. No additional appliances will be used to activate orthodontic tooth movement.
