About this trial

Study will be directed to evaluate the dentoalveolar changes following maxillary incisor intrusion using utility arch assisted with micro-osteoperforations in deep bite cases.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients age between 15-25 years.

Patients with overbite ≥ 4 mm.

All permanent teeth erupted (excluding 3rd molars).

No previous orthodontic treatment.

Disqualifiers

Skeletal discrepancies.

Missing maxillary anterior teeth or any kind of tooth/root shape anomaly.

Patients with root resorption or impacted canines.

Previous history of orthodontic treatment.

Trial design

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Micro-osteoperforations

    Procedure/Surgery

    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

    Device

    Patients will receive utility arch for intrusion of maxillary incisors without micro-osteoperforations.
