Evaluating the Efficacy of Micro-Osteoperforations Technique on the Orthodontic Tooth Movement Acceleration in Moderate Mandibular Anterior Crowding Cases Treated With Clear Aligners
Evaluating the Efficacy of Micro-Osteoperforations Technique on the Orthodontic Tooth Movement Acceleration of Dental Crowding Cases Treated With Clear Aligners: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Hama University
30 participants
Jun 10, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Patients with moderate mandibular anterior crowding will be treated in this study. The efficacy of micro-osteoperforations technique by special drill in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement during clear aligners therapy will be assessed along with patient's pain and satisfaction. There are two groups: 1. a group of patients in which participants will be received treatment with the traditional clear aligners technique in addition to a micro-osteoperforations technique. 2. a group of patients in which participants will be received treatment with the traditional clear aligners technique alone
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria4
- Completion of permanent dentition (except third molars)
- Moderate crowding (4-6 mm according to Little's index)
- Absence of medications intake that interferes with pain perception for at least one week before the beginning of the treatment
- Number of aligners ≥ 8 aligners.
Exclusion Criteria4
- Systematic diseases that could affect bone and tooth movement and no contraindication avoid oral surgery
- Medical conditions that affect tooth movement (Corticosteroid, NSAIDs)
- Patients had previous orthodontic treatments
- Poor oral hygiene or concurrent periodontal disease

Interventions
Micro-Osteoperforations Technique (MOPs) Surgery will be performed to the lower anterior bony segment of the lower jaw in order to accelerate tooth movement.
Active Comparator: Traditional treatment The patients in this group will be receive treatment with the traditional clear aligners technique without any surgical procedure.
