Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment. Methods 48 orthodontic patients were selected, 14 males and 34 females, and they all accepted corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment. Corticotomy had been used in the clinical treatment: auxiliary arch expansion, extraction of anterior teeth retraction, molar anterior displacement, traction crown, root bone adhesion teeth mobile, etc. Results Corticotomy could remove the cortical resistance, accelerate the orthodontic tooth movement, increase the periodontal support tissue and bone cover, reduce the root resorption, and enhance the stability of the treatment. Conclusion Corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment can not only accelerate the tooth movement, but also effectively solve some difficult problems of the orthodontic treatment.
