Accelerated Tooth Movement with Orthodontic Mini-Screws

الملخص EN

This case report outlines the possibility of accelerated tooth movement with the combination of microosteoperforation and mini-screws.

A 14-year-old male patient presented Class II malocclusion with maxillary incisor protrusion.

Upper first premolars were extracted, and after leveling, accelerated canine distalization started.

For pre- and postdistalization times, amount of distalization, periodontal health, and root resorption were assessed.

Within the limitations of this case report, micro-osteoperforations with mini-screw have a potential for shortening the treatment time.
