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.

Researchers used minimally invasive surgical methods like corticision, piezocision, micro-osteoperforation, and piezopuncture indicated that most of these methods can accelerate dental movement by 20 - 40%.

The effect of corticision as a minimally invasive procedure on root resorption and dehiscence formation during orthodontic tooth movement has not been studied yet.

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 of Anterior Mandibular Teeth

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Corticision

A special instrument will be used to cut the cortex of the alveolar bone at different locations between the lower anterior teeth

OTHER

Traditional Non-accelerated Treatment

The normal sequence of treatment steps will be followed in this group without using any kind of acceleration methods
