Brief Summary: Thirty six patients needs therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines will be divided randomly into two groups piezocision group and the ERyttrium aluminum garnet YAG laser group In each group piezocision or hard laser-assisted flapless corticotomy will randomly assigned to one side of the maxillary arch at the first premolar region and the other side served as the control Canine retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side soldered trans-palatal arch will be used as an anchor unit

Pre- and post distalization dental casts will be evaluated to study rate of canine distalization canine rotation and anchorage loss over a follow-up period until a Class I canine relationship is achieved The levels of pain and discomfort will be self-reported using a questionnaire with visual analog scales administered at four assessment times during the first month after the minimally invasive procedure
Detailed Description: One main issue in orthodontics is the prolonged treatment time leading patients especially adults to avoid treatment or seek alternative options such as implants or veneers with less than optimal results

Therefore the search for methods that decrease the treatment duration is a main challenge in orthodontic research Decreased duration of therapy seems to be related not only to better patient compliance but also to reduced treatment -related root resorption better periodontal health and lower risk of caries and white spots Adjunct to the proper selection of brackets wires biomechanic systems force levels and anchorage systems an array of novel techniques has been introduced to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement These techniques can be briefly categorized as surgical and non-surgical However The surgical approach is the most clinically used and most tested with known predictions and stable results The invasiveness of surgical procedures requiring full mucoperiosteal flaps might have been a drawback for their widespread acceptance among orthodontists and patients Therefore more conservative flapless corticotomy techniques have recently been proposed Although various techniques of flapless corticotomy have been reported to be successful in practice scientific evidence for their effectiveness so far has been limited to case series and a handful of clinical trials generally with small groups Therefore further controlled prospective studies are needed to study the effectiveness of flapless corticotomy in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement
