N2  - The last few decades have witnessed an evolution in orthodontics and bone remodeling to meet contemporary aesthetic and therapeutic needs. Over the past century, various methods have been used and investigated, including invasive surgical and non-surgical methods. However, in certain circumstances, significant challenges may arise that can lead to adverse postherpetic outcomes. To minimize patient injury and destruction, a variety of surgical instruments and handpieces are used during corticotomy, such as burs, piezoelectric apparatus, hard blades, perforators, hammers, discs, and lasers. In addition, several modified approaches to minimize invasive operations have been introduced to reduce post-operative and pre-operative complications and discomfort caused by surgical treatments. This review summarizes and evaluates recent differing perspectives regarding the effects of corticotomies as an assistant surgical technique. Using the Electronic PubMed database, this review will discuss and analyze several journal articles, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies about corticotomy for orthodontic tooth movement. Information was collected from relevant journal articles, randomized controlled trials, and observational studies that contained the terms “Orthodontic,” “Corticotomy,” “Remodelling,” “Technologies,” “RAP,” and “FEA” in the title or abstract.
