Interventions
Micro-osteoperforations
Using utility arch with micro-osteoperforations (MOPs). The biologic mechanism behind MOPs is to increase the cytokine expression that leads to increase bone resorption and the catabolic phase of tooth movement in the direction of tooth movement. Transmucosal holes in cortical bone are made to trigger bone remodeling changes for faster tooth movement at the apices above maxillary incisors to evaluate the amount of movement and amount of root resorption.
Utility arch
Patients will receive utility arch for intrusion of maxillary incisors without micro-osteoperforations.
