【 摘 要 】

Prolonged treatment duration is one of the main concerns of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. In addition to the longer duration, there are several drawbacks such as increased predisposition to root resorption, caries, and gingival recession. Thus, clinicians are always on the lookout for better solutions or alternatives. This is where the technique of corticotomy came in. In the present study, two cases where a piezosurgical corticotomy was done for rapid tooth movement have been discussed. The entire treatment duration was about 7–8 months without any relapse or posttreatment complications.
