Description

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

Interventions

Micro-osteoperforations Technique (Device)
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 comparater (Device)
Active Comparator: Traditional treatment The patients in this group will be receive treatment with the traditional clear aligners technique without any surgical procedure.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * 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 Criteria: * • 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
