Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 16 Years - 26 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: adult female patients
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Adult females (age range 18-28 years old).

• Full permanent dentition (not necessitating third molars).

You may not qualify if:

• Patients having systemic diseases or on medications that would affect tooth movement.
• Active periodontal disease or obvious bone resorption in maxillary arch.
• Patients with habits that are detrimental to dental occlusion (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting … etc.).
• Previous orthodontic treatment.
• Missing teeth.
