N2 - Corticotomy consists of a surgical procedure that allows cutting, drilling, or mechanically altering the cortical bone, without actually affecting the medullary bone and favoring tooth movement. This technique has provided exceptional results and can be used satisfactorily in orthodontic treatment. Objective: To evaluate and compile the available scientific evidence that supports the application of corticotomy and its effectiveness during orthodontic treatment as an alternative to facilitate tooth movement, as well as its indications, advantages, contraindications, and adverse effects. Methodology: The search for articles was done in electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, and Scielo. 22 articles that meet the inclusion criteria and allow a simple and clear understanding were included in the review. Conclusion: Corticotomy allows for better results and the shortest possible time in orthodontic treatment by applying its different techniques compared to the conventional method. Before the orthodontic procedure, it is necessary to carry out a thorough evaluation of the specific needs of each patient, as well as the treatment expectations. Although corticotomy is a promising technique, there is still little scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.
