The major concern of any patient undergoing orthodontic procedure is duration of the treatment. Therefore any technique or intervention which can bring down the duration of the treatment will create a positive attitude towards the orthodontic specialty. Wilckodontics also called as periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics is a novel technique which is used for accelerated orthodontic tooth movement. It is a patented technique and is based on concepts of Wilcko brothers. In this technique surgical corticotomy of the alveolar bone is done to reduce the resistance of the cortical bone during orthodontic movement of the teeth. As for any procedure success depends on the proper case selection, proper treatment planning and execution of the treatment plan. This article talk about the applicability, evaluation of Wilckodontics, biomechanics, case selection, treatment planning, surgical technique and its future.
