The efficiency of mandibular mini-implants in reducing adverse effects of class II elastics in adolescent female patients: a single blinded, randomized controlled trial

ConclusionMini-implants in conjunction with class II elastics had no skeletal effect, mainly dentoalveolar and it did not prevent the proclination of lower incisors. There was more distal movement in the upper incisors in the skeletal anchorage group which helped in enhancing the camouflaging of class II malocclusion.Trial registrationTrial registered “FUE.REC (10)/10-2018” at the FUE registration council for clinical trials/IOP Orthodontic Program October 2018.
