Intervention

Device:
• Extrusion arch
one couple force system is applied; a custom-made extrusion wire from 0.016x0.022 stainless steel wire with helical bends placed 2-5 mm mesial to the molar tube placed in the upper and lower arches and tied distal to the lateral incisors

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	angular and vertical linear effects on incisors	Extrusion of upper and lower incisors measured from: incisal edge, centroid point and apex to the palatal and mandibular planes for the upper and lower incisors respectively. Angles between long axis of upper incisor to SN plane and palatal plane, Angle between long axis of lower incisor and mandibular plane using lateral cephalometric xray	up to 6 months
Primary	angular and vertical linear effects on first molars	For the first molars: Angular measurements between the long axis of the measuring jigs and the palatal plane and mandibular plane for the upper and lower molars, respectively. Vertical measurements: perpendicular vertical distance from the measuring jigs to the palatal and mandibular planes for the upper and lower molars, respectively, using lateral cephalometric xray.	up to 6 months
Secondary	change in the SN' to Mandibular plane angle	measuring the change in the angle between SN' to Mandibular plane angle, using lateral cephalometric xray	up to 6 months
Secondary	change in the palatal to Mandibular plane angle	measuring the change in the angle between the palatal to Mandibular plane angle, using lateral cephalometric xray	up to 6 months
Secondary	change in the Anterior facial height	measuring the change in the vertical distance between Nasion and Menton, using lateral cephalometric x-ray.	up to 6 months
