Abstract: Malocclusion is a common clinical disease, requiring orthodontic treatment. However, in some patients, the amount of alveolar bone is insufficient and the root of tooth is exposed, which seriously limits the implement of orthodontic treatment. It is also a challenge for clinicians. Therefore, it is particularly important for patients to increase the amount of alveolar bone and promote teeth movement. Augmented corticotomy-assisted surgical orthodontics can effectively increase the amount of alveolar bone, expand the indications for orthodontic treatment, accelerate teeth movement, shorten treatment period and reduce complications, such as fenestrations and dehiscence. This article reviewed the biological mechanisms and development of augmented corticotomy-assisted surgical orthodontics.

Key words: Alveolar bone augmentation, Corticotomy, Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics
