Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of surgically-assisted clear-aligners in orthodontic tooth movement acceleration. Subjects and Methods: This study was carried out upon 14 patients with an age range from 15 to 25 years, Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the control group in which patients were treated by clear aligners alone and study group in which patients were treated by clear aligners assisted with surgery. Results: The collected data were analysed and revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the experimental group where (p<0.001). The highest mean value of the total treatment time was found in the control group, while the least mean value was found in the study group. Conclusion: The results of this study suggested that the overall treatment time needed to alleviate crowding in the control and study groups was significantly different with a drastic decrease in orthodontic treatment time in the study group.
