Summary
This study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D on the rate of tooth movement by measuring
and comparing the extraction space closure during retraction in experimental (vitamin D
supplemented) and control groups with a sample size of 24 and having serum vitamin D level
(30-40 ng/ml). All subjects undergo orthodontic levelling and alignment after premolar
extractions followed by vitamin D supplementation in the experimental group. The rate of
canine retraction will be measured in both the groups and CBCT taken in the interval of 6
months before and after intervention to measure root changes
