A friction group, using NiTi coil springs and a frictionless group using closing T-loops for en-masse retraction. Randomization in a 1:1 ratio was generated by Microsoft Excel. The randomization numbers were secured in opaque sealed envelopes for allocation concealment. Retraction started in all patients following first premolars extraction using miniscrews as a source of indirect anchorage. Activation was done on a monthly basis until complete retraction of anterior segment. The rate of retraction, amount of anchorage loss, the dental, and soft tissue changes were analyzed on digital models and lateral cephalograms taken before retraction and after space closure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Blinding<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The outcome assessor was blinded through data concealment during assessment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Two patients were lost to follow up, so 30 patients completed the trial.

Anchorage loss of 1.18\u2005\u00b1\u20050.72\u00a0mm in the friction group compared to 1.29\u2005\u00b1\u20050.55 mm in the frictionless group with no significant difference.
