Summary

The duration of orthodontic treatment is one of the exacerbation causes of orthodontic pain. Several methods have been suggested to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment classified to surgical and non-surgical methods.

Researches used minimally invasive surgical methods like corticision, piezocesion, micro-osteoperforation, and piezo-puncture indicated that most of these methods can accelerate dental movement by 20 - 40% without causing additional pain as a result of using those methods. Applying corticision on the lower anterior teeth using a surgical blade and a hammer may accelerate tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment. This study consists of two groups, patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups.

Conditions

  • Crowding

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Corticision

Surgical intervention is going to be used in the interdental areas between the lower anterior teeth to accelerate tooth movement. Three incisions are going to be made

PROCEDURE

Traditional orthodontic treatment

No surgical intervention will be used, just normal orthodontic sequence of procedures.
