Study will be directed to evaluate the dentoalveolar changes following maxillary incisor intrusion using utility arch assisted with micro-osteoperforations in deep bite cases.
Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) are a new, simple, and minimally invasive technique to accelerate tooth movement. The biologic mechanism behind MOPs is to increase the cytokine expression that leads to increased bone resorption, 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 and decrease root resotption.

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