Corticotomy is a surgical procedure
commonly employed in the fields of
orthodontics and orthopedics to facilitate
bone movement, accelerate orthodontic

report outlines the purpose of corticotomy,
the procedural steps involved, and its
applications in medical and dental practice.

Corticotomy serves several
key purposes:
1. Accelerated Orthodontic
Treatment: It can shorten
the time required for
