 Lengthy treatment is a challenge in orthodontic treatment that makes it unfavorable for both patients and orthodontists. The average treatment duration of fixed orthodontic treatment ranges from 19.9 months to 2 years. Prolonged treatment duration usually is associated with other negative sequelae such as discomfort, pain, and bacterial time-load factors, like white spot lesions and dental caries. Hence, methods to accelerate tooth movement not only to shorten the treatment time, but also to reduce or eliminate its associated risks are the prime interest of both orthodontists and patients. Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) are a new, simple, and minimally invasive technique to accelerate tooth movement. The biologic mechanism behind MOPs is to increase the cytokine expression that leads to increased bone resorption, the catabolic phase of tooth movement, in the direction of tooth movement.
