Abstract
Traditionally, the orthodontist dealt with correcting malocclusions in growing patients however an increased awareness
among adult patients for dentofacial aesthetics has resulted in a huge demand for orthodontics in the adult population.
However, successful orthodontic treatment can be difficult when treating adult patients since dentoalveolar development
ceases after adolescence. Short treatment time is a constantly recurring request by many adult patients, hence clinicians
have searched for alternative methods to accelerate tooth movement. Therefore the aim of the present study was
evaluation of modified alveolar corticotomy-facilitated orthodontic treatment in adult patients with bimaxillary
protrusion. Three patients with the age range of 24-30 years having class I malocclusion with Bimaxillary protrusion
were included.
