Summary

Applying flapless piezocision corticotomies on the alveolar bone and separating anterior mandibular teeth using a piezosurgery device (i.e. ultrasonic waves that perform very accurate incisions without any sutures following this procedure) may improve the speed of tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment. This study consists of two groups, patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups. The levels of pain and discomfort of this procedure on 18 patients (experimental group) will be evaluated,whereas the second group (control group) will receive a traditional orthodontic therapy.

Conditions

  • Malocclusion
  • Crowded Teeth
  • Surgical Incision

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Piezosurgery

The surgical tip is going to be used to make small cuts into the cortex of the alveolar bone between the crowded teeth.
