Alveolar corticotomies for accelerated orthodontics: A systematic review

It has been suggested that alveolar corticotomies may accelerate tooth movement, broaden the scope of malocclusion types that can be treated orthodontically, decrease the need for extractions, and support long-term stability. Several techniques have been proposed, although the indications, ideal design and technical characteristics, potential complications, and objective clinician and patient satisfaction remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to provide scientific support to validate alveolar corticotomies as a reliable approach to accelerated orthodontics.
