The Biomechanical and Cellular Response to Micro-Perforations in Orthodontic Therapy

Abstract

The long duration of orthodontic treatment is one of the main issues that forces patients to choose other therapeutic modalities with poor outcomes and unfavorable negative effects . It can also exacerbate any adverse effects caused by orthodontic therapy. Micro-osteotomy perforations (MOPs) have been used to trigger the bone's natural processes that accelerate tooth movement. The periodontal ligament (PDL) is put under increased strain by orthodontic pressures, which leads to the desired re
