Corticotomy-facilitated Orthodontic Correction of Ectopic Central Incisor–ACase Report

Abstract

Alternative techniques such as surgically-facilitated orthodontic therapy (SFOT), using corticotomy and single- or multiple-tooth osteotomy to enhance orthodontic tooth movements, are gaining popularity. Presented here is a case report of correction of an ectopically erupted maxillary central incisor using corticotomy-facilitated orthodontic treatment. The results were achieved in comparatively lesser time with good retention and stability.
