Summary

This study will compare orthodontic molar protraction with and without adjunctive periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontic (PAOO) surgery prior to orthodontic tooth movement.

To the investigators' knowledge, this type of molar retraction in adult patients has not been compared with and without the adjunctive use of PAOO for differences in clinical linear tooth movement and patient centered outcomes (discomfort, change in daily activities, satisfaction with esthetic outcomes) in a controlled study.

Conditions

  • Malocclusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Orthodontic Molar Protraction and PAOO

Molar Protraction with Orthodontic Tooth Movement and Adjunctive Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) Surgery was performed on all study sites in this arm in coordination with standard orthodontic molar protraction using traditional bands/brackets and orthodontic wires.
