A major part of the population undergoes orthodontic treatment in order to bring about better occlusion, improved oral function as well as harmonized facial appearance. The prolonged treatment duration is one of the main deterants in orthodontics. Lengthy orthodontic treatment prompts many patients, especially adults, to either avoid treatment or to seek shorter alternative solutions with compromised results. Therefore, the treatment modalities that decrease treatment time without compromising the treatment outcome is an active area of research in orthodontics today. There are disadvantages of long orthodontic treatment time like higher predisposition to dental caries, gingival recession and root resorption. Therefore, this increases the demand to find the best method which can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement safely. The current methods such as piezocision, lasers, vibration and biological methods have reduced or eliminated the invasive nature of previous procedures used to achieve the Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon. These techniques are a step closer to quicker orthodontic treatment making them the next frontier for orthodontics and its success.
