Speedy surgical-orthodontic treatment with temporary anchorage devices as an alternative to orthognathic surgery
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 06/19/09
Chung KR et al. - The authors describe a new type of corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment called speedy orthodontics for treating severe anterior protrusion in adults. Speedy orthodontics describes a protocol to allow movement of dental segments over a shorter time by using a corticotomy and an orthopedic force with temporary anchorage devices. This new type of treatment mechanics can be an effective alternative to orthognathic surgery in adults with protrusion.
