    The aim of this narrative review is to discuss on different approaches of the flapless corticotomy techniques to ac- celerate orthodontic tooth movement. There was limited understanding about the effect of the surgical procedures because of the great variations in the procedures between the flapless corticotomy techniques. Hence, no specific technique can be claimed to be superior to another. Eleven clinical trials have been reviewed from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using the keywords such as accelerated, orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), minimally invasive corticotomy, RAP, corticision, piezocision, lasercision/laser assisted flapless corticotomy (LAFC), micro-os- teoperforations (MOPs), discision and their combinations in the last 10 years. Early reports showed that Piezocision, MOPs and LAFC procedures are comparatively less aggressive flapless corticotomy procedure to accelerate OTM and more comfortable to the patient.

    Introduction: Coated archwires improve aesthetics during orthodontic treatment. However, little is known regarding
    their clinical benefit. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) compared the tooth alignment (TA), coating loss (CL),
    colour change (∆E*), and patient perception of coated archwires with their controls. Details of ∆E* and perception were reported in the second part of the articles. Methods: This RCT was done at three centres. Participants
    were randomised to receive one of four treatment interventions using 0.014” superelastic coated nickel-titanium
    archwires from Orthocare, RMO, G&H, and conventional uncoated 3M Unitek® archwires. These archwires were
    ligated during bonding and collected after eighth week and questionnaires were distributed to participants in the
    experimental groups only. After removal, TA and CL were measured using Little’s Irregularity Index and Autodesk®
    AutoCAD® software, respectively. At the time of this preliminary reporting, 84 participants had completed the trial. Two archwires fractured and were excluded. Therefore, 166 archwires (n = 166) were analysed. Results: Only
    non-extraction cases showed statistically significant differences in TA change between all groups (p = 0.005) and
    RMO showed significantly lowest mean of TA (1.5 mm). RMO and Orthocare showed significant TA change in the
    upper and lower arches (p = 0.037, 0.048). CL was found to be insignificant for both extraction and non-extraction
    cases (p >0.05). Comparison between upper and lower arches revealed no significant difference in TA and CL in all
    groups (p >0.05). Conclusion: From this preliminary analysis, Orthocare provides better TA in non-extraction cases
    despite highest percentage of coating loss.

    Introduction: Coated archwires improve aesthetics because of the tooth-coloured appearance. However, colour change of the coated archwires have been reported in vitro. Nonetheless, little is known to what extent this colour change occurs clinically. This second part of the multi-centre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial evaluated the colour change (E*) of three coated archwires with their controls and patient perception. Methods: 84 patients who received treatment with upper and lower fixed appliance treatment were invited. Consented patients were randomised to receive one of four treatment interventions using 0.014” superelastic nickel-titanium archwires from
    (1) Orthocare (2) RMO (3) G&H, and (4) 3M Unitek® uncoated. These archwires were ligated during bonding and collected after 8th week. After removal, the digital images of the archwires were assessed for colour change using Adobe® Photoshop® software, and the CIE L*a*b* system was used to calculate the ΔE* values. Patient perception was measured using oral aesthetic subjective impact scale (OASIS) questionnaire. Results: For colour change and patient perception assessment, 132 archwires from 66 participants who had been treated with aesthetic archwires were collected. Two fractured archwires were excluded. Initial analysis revealed all three aesthetic archwires groups showed significant mean of E* with the highest was found in Orthocare (23.9), and the lowest is G&H (16.8). Post hoc comparison revealed statistically significant mean of E* in Orthocare when compared with other groups (p
