Summary

The main purpose is to compare overall alignment time (OAT) in days in alleviating mandibular incisors crowding between control group and MOPs group.Furthermore, to investigate the presence of volumetric root resorption from CBCT, gingival recession and formation of black triangle post lower labial segment alignment between micro-osteoperforations group and control group.

Detailed description

Prolonged treatment time in orthodontics is an undesirable side effect for both the patient and clinician. Usually, an average course of comprehensive orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances requires less than 2 years to complete (19.9 months). This prolonged treatment time may cause adverse effects such as root resorption, gingival recession, caries \& enamel demineralization. Micro-osteoperforations is safe, minimally invasive technique which perforations are performed through the gum tissues, penetrating the bone without the need to raise a flap.Control group will not received any MOP and will receive standard orthodontic treatment.

Conditions

• Malocclusion
