Patients at the Orthodontic Department of the University of Damascus Dental School will be examined and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, and radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched. This study aims to compare two groups of patients with moderate crowding of the lower anterior teeth. Experimental group: the patients in this group will be treated with periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics Control group: the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances without any acceleration method.
