Summary

The long time needed for orthodontic treatment is considered one of the biggest obstacles that make patients refuse to undergo orthodontic treatment. It also has many disadvantages including higher caries rates, gingivitis, and root resorption. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of two new noninvasive methods (Low-Level Laser Therapy and Corticopuncture) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement for the implant supported En-Masse retraction of the six maxillary anterior teeth.

Conditions

  • Malocclusion, Angle Class II, Division 1

Interventions

RADIATION

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT will be applied in this group

PROCEDURE

Flapless Corticopunture

Small holes in the cortical bone will be achieved using 1-mm diameter round surgical Tungsten bur

OTHER

Control

Typical orthodontic treatment with no LLLT or flapless corticopuncture
