ABSTRACT
Corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment is a time-honored and effective orthodontic procedure that progressively extended admiration as an adjunct treatment preference for adults. It involves selective alveolar decortication in the form of lines and dots performed around the tooth that are to be moved. It is done to induce a state of increased tissue turnover and a transient osteopenia, which is followed by a faster rate of orthodontic tooth movement. The treatment time is reduced to one-third of that in conventional orthodontics. Its main advantages are reduction of treatment time and post orthodontic stability. The aim of this article is to present a broad review on the corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment in adults.
