Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the procedure of a minimally invasive alveolar microperforation procedure to achieve accelerated tooth movement in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. "Accelerated tooth movement" means that using the PROPEL™ device may help complete your treatment with braces on one side of your mouth sooner than would be expected if the device were not to be used.
