Tooth movement rate and anchorage lost during canine retraction: A maxillary and mandibular comparison.

CONCLUSIONS:: SL brackets did not show faster canine retraction compared with CV brackets nor less anchorage loss. The maxillary canines showed a greater rate of tooth movement than the mandibular canines; however, no difference in anchorage loss between the maxillary and mandibular posterior segments during canine retraction was found.
