J Orthod. 2012 Jun;39(2):122-8. doi: 10.1179/1465312512Z.00000000015.

Abstract

This case report outlines the possibility of rapid orthodontic tooth movement with the use of an accelerated osteogenic technique. A 28-year-old female patient presented with a class I malocclusion, bimaxillary proclination, spacing between the maxillary and mandibular incisors and previous extraction of all four first premolars. Orthodontic treatment from appliance placement to debond took 6 months and 2 weeks.
