Effectiveness of Surgical and Non-Surgical Techniques for Accelerating Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Fixed Appliances and Aligners: A Systematic Review.
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Several procedures have been proposed as adjuvant treatments in orthodontics to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). This review aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of surgical and non-surgical techniques in accelerating tooth movement, ascertain the influence of different orthodontic appliances on the rate of tooth movement and analyze their clinical applicability as supportive approaches in orthodontic treatment. A bibliographic search was carried out in April 2024 across Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library using combinations of keywords and Medical Subject Heading terms relevant to the topic. The search had no time restriction and was limited to studies published in English. A total of 76 articles were included in this systematic review. Corticotomy exhibited the highest acceleration potential among surgical techniques but is highly invasive and associated with considerable pain and discomfort. Among non-surgical techniques, vibration and photobiomodulation (PBM) showed the most promising results due to their non-invasiveness and effectiveness in accelerating tooth movement. This review provides a comprehensive overview of techniques for accelerating OTM. The literature remains limited in involving surgical and non-surgical procedures using orthodontic aligners, highlighting the need for further research. Considering all the pros and cons, PBM appears to be the most promising technique; however, its effectiveness is yet suboptimal. Future efforts should be dedicated to optimizing PBM protocols to stimulate specific remodeling phenomena, ensuring its establishment as a safe, effective, painless, and non-invasive acceleration technique.
