Özet

The distance between the teeth in group II was significantly greater than that in group I during the first 3 days. Between days 4 and 14, no significant difference was observed. During the last 6 days, except for day 19, tooth movement in group II again increased, resulting in the distance between the teeth being greater in group II. The mean total opening was 3.98 +/- 0.59 mm in group I and 4.82 +/- 0.82 mm in group II, and the mean difference was approximately 0.8 mm.
