Brief Summary: The duration of orthodontic treatment is one of the exacerbation causes of orthodontic pain Several methods have been suggested to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment classified to surgical and non-surgical methods

Researchers used minimally invasive surgical methods like corticision piezocision micro-osteoperforation and piezopuncture indicated that most of these methods can accelerate dental movement by 20 - 40

The effect of corticision as a minimally invasive procedure on root resorption and dehiscence formation during orthodontic tooth movement has not been studied yet

Applying corticision on the lower anterior teeth using a surgical blade and a hammer may accelerate tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment This study consists of two groups patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups
Detailed Description: Orthodontically induced external root resorption accompanying orthodontic treatment is defined as a microscopic loss of root tissue as a result of the inflammatory reaction that occurs in the area of application of orthodontic force It can be diagnosed and measured using conventional radiography or cone-beam computed tomography CBCT

Dehiscence is a loss of alveolar bone on the facial rarely lingual aspect of a tooth that leaves a characteristic v-shaped root-exposed defect from the cementoenamel junction apically Bone dehiscence cannot be detected through conventional radiography or clinical examination Actually CBCT can be considered the best accessible technique providing 3D data

Corticision is one of the minimally invasive surgical procedures that is not associated with flap lifting It was used to accelerate tooth movement in animals and case report studies Its application on humans may aggravate their fear and anxiety towards the pain that may accompany this technique

No randomized controlled trial RCT has compared flapless corticision in the non-extraction-based orthodontic decrowding of lower anterior teeth LAT with the conventional treatment in terms of external apical root resorption EARR and dehiscence formation DF
