The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the timing of tooth extractions (before or after initial orthodontic treatment) affects pain levels in patients who need bilateral extractions of first premolars in the upper jaw. The participants in this study are patients who require these extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare Group A (patients who have extractions before orthodontic treatment) to Group B (patients who have extractions after initial alignment) to see if the timing of the extractions affects pain levels.
Participants will:
Undergo tooth extractions either before or after initial alignment based on their group.
Rate their pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale at various times (2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after extraction, and then daily for a week).

| investigate the effect of prior engagement of tooth with orthodontic appliance on post extraction pa | Experimental | In this randomized clinical trial, 44 patients were recruited who needed bilateral extractions of first premolars in upper arches. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timing of extractions. Group A needed extractions before alignment while Group B needed extractions for retraction of anterior teeth. Group A was sent for extractions first while Group B went for orthodontic bonding and banding procedures for orthodontic treatment. After series of aligning wires (0.014, 0.016, 17x25, 19x25 Heat activated NiTi and 19x25 SS) patients from group B were sent for extractions. For pain assessment, an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) were given to record pain intensity at 2, 4, 8, 12 and then 24 hours after extraction for the next 7 days. |

| A comparative assessment of post extraction pain in orthodontic patients to evaluate the effects of early engagement of tooth with orthodontic wires. | In this randomized clinical trial, 44 patients were recruited who needed bilateral extractions of first premolars in upper arches. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timing of extractions. Group A needed extractions before alignment while Group B needed extractions for retraction of anterior teeth. Group A was sent for extractions first while Group B went for orthodontic bonding and banding procedures for orthodontic treatment.
