The aim of this split mouth randomized clinical trial was to evaluate and compare the space closure during the retraction of upper permanent canine with self-ligating "SmartClip" and conventional "Gemini" brackets. Sample complied 13 patients with Class I biprotrusion or Class II 1st division malocclusion, with an average age of 18 years and 4 months, 3 male and 10 female. All were submitted to the therapeutic extraction of two first premolars. The retraction of the upper canines was performed with elastomeric chain with 150g of force. The evaluations were performed at four times (T1 – initial, T2 – 4 weeks, T3 – 8 weeks, T4 – 12 weeks) in stone model casts. The amount of movement and the rotation of the canines as well anchorage loss of upper first molars were evaluated. The space closure measurement was made between canine and second premolar and rotation was assessed by an angle formed by the intersection of the line drawn through the canine’s contact points and the line of the palatal suture. The anchorage loss was measured by a guide adapted at the palatal rugae in stone casts at initial and end.The data obtained were subjected to Student t test considering level of significance of 5%. The results shown that selfligating bracket had an average of 0. 92 mm (+/- 0. 29) of rate movement and 8. 46o (+/- 4. 68) of the rotation of the upper canines and 0. 65 mm (+/- 0. 24) of anchorage loss; the conventional bracket had an average of 0. 84 mm (+/- 0. 22) of rate movement and 11. 77o (+/- 3. 26) of the rotation of and the upper canines and 0. 57 mm (+/- 0. 24) of anchorage loss. There was no difference (p=0. 250) in the rate of movement of the canines between the two types de brackets. The rotational control of the canines was better promoted by self-ligating bracket (p=0. 005). There was anchorage loss for both groups, with no statistical difference between them (p=0. 157).
