Piezocision™-assisted orthodontics is an innovative, minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to help achieve rapid orthodontic tooth movement while correcting/preventing mucogingival defects by adding bone and/or soft tissues. Microsurgical interproximal openings are done in the buccal gingiva to let the piezoelectric knife create the bone injury that will lead to transient demineralization and subsequent accelerated tooth movement. This technique can be used for the whole mouth, the cuts being simultaneously performed at the maxilla and the mandible (generalized Piezocision) or for segments of the dentition (localized Piezocision) to achieve specific localized results (intrusion, extrusion, distalization of teeth, etc.).
