Evaluation of Corticotomy-Assisted Canine Retraction Rate
Sponsor: Tanzila Rafique
Summary
The goal of this split-mouth randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of corticotomy on maxillary canine retraction rate compared to conventional orthodontic techniques. Each participant acts as their own control. After bilateral maxillary first premolar extractions, one quadrant is randomly assigned to receive corticotomy before retraction, while the contralateral quadrant undergoes standard orthodontic retraction without corticotomy.

Conditions
Interventions
Experimental: Corticotomy¬-Assisted Canine Retraction
Corticotomy will be performed on one maxillary quadrant before initiating standardized canine distalization.
Active Comparator / Control: Conventional Canine Retraction
Conventional canine retraction will be performed on the contralateral quadrant without corticotomy under identical orthodontic mechanics.
