Patients and orthodontists seek to reduce treatment time in braces. Rapid canine retraction through dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis is one of several treatment approaches to reduce treatment in braces. This article provides an overview of technique of dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis to accomplish rapid canine retraction and associated outcomes. When this treatment protocol is implemented well, rapid canine retraction is achieved predictably with minimal side effects. Although current evidence suggests that adverse sequelae, such as root resorptions and pulp devitalization, are rare, prospective clinical studies that are adequately powered and documenting long-term follow-up of these outcomes are lacking.
