Piezosurgery is a relatively new surgical technique which can be used over traditional oral surgical procedures. Initially treatment presurgical orthodontics was being carried out for initial leveling and alignment followed by Piezosurgery and later Post-surgical orthodontic phase was carried out which include closure of spaces using power chains.
