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.
