One of the primary difficulties of orthodontics is the prolonged treatment time, which leads to the majority of patients dropping out. When orthodontic forces are applied to the teeth, they cause an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal tissues and pulp, which leads to bone remodelling. The pace of bone remodelling, on the other hand, is slow, resulting in a lengthier treatment time. Micro-osteoperforations (MOP) have been shown to improve the process of bone remodelling and expedite tooth movement in recent studies on orthodontic journals. It is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the inflammatory response by activating pro-inflammatory mediators. This eventually enhances the rate of tooth movement under controlled orthodontic stresses by increasing the rate of alveolar bone remodelling. Its application is simple and quick, and it can be done by the orthodontist.
Keywords: Orthodontics, Accelerated tooth movement, Micro-osteoperforation, Minimally-invasive technique.
