Brief Summary   This study compares rate of retraction of maxillary anterior teeth using RCS NiTi archwires in one group where RCS stainless steel archwires in another group initially pretreatment records will be taken like lateral cephalogram and study models then first  premolar extraction will be done following initial leveling and alignment after eight months of retraction again records will be taken and statistical analysis will be done
