Comparative study of different distraction rates in separate retractions of canine: Randomized control trial.

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment typically lasts 18-24 months, but depending on the conditions, it can take a longer duration. In recent years, accelerated orthodontics has been the subject of extensive research to shorten the duration of treatment.
