Abstract :
This case report outlines the possibility of accelerated tooth movement with the combination of microosteoperforation and miniscrews. A 14-year-old male patient presented Class II malocclusion with maxillary incisor protrusion. Upper 2rst premolars were
extracted, and after leveling, accelerated canine distalization started. For pre- and postdistalization times, amount of distalization,
periodontal health, and root resorption were assessed. Within the limitations of this case report, micro-osteoperforations with
mini-screw have a potential for shortening the treatment time.
