Group A used RCS in cervical slot for the maxillary incisor intrusion, and in Group B used RCS in incisal slot of Twin slot bracket. .. Results:.as regarding incisor display Cervical slot recorded a decrease (-1.08±2.8; median -0.98), while incisal slot recorded a greater decrease (-0.9±2.22; median -1). The difference between groups was not statistically significant (p=0.958). Conclusion: there is no difference in incisor display between groups.
