Brief Summary

study will be directed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy during maxillary molar distalization using a skeletally anchored appliance

Conditions

Class II Division 1 Malocclusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• rate of molar distalization

  rate of distalization of the maxillary first molars will be evaluated using direct clinical assessment and cast analysis according to standardized methods.

  from start of treatment until study completion, an average of 1 year
