Primarily the present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of micro-osteoperation (MOPs) perfomed by mini-implant (MI) screw In improving alignment of mandibular anterior teeth. Additionally, the possibility of inducing root resorption, and patient perception of pain during the initial phase of treatment.~Subjects and Methods: Orthodontic patients aged 17-25 years old, non-extraction treatment with lower anterior crowding of 4-6 mm using Little's irregularity index. Outcome measures included the amount of crowding using Little's irregularity index (LII), apical root resorption, and pain perception. The effectiveness of alignment will be tested using t-test, while root resorption and pain perception will be tested by the Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P<0.05).
The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the the efficacy of micro-osteoperforation (MOPs) perfomed by mini-implant (MI) screw In improving alignment of mandibular anterior teeth
