MOPs (Micro-Osteoperforations)

A minimally invasive in-office procedure that stimulates bone remodeling to help teeth move faster — especially when certain movements or spaces are difficult to achieve.

What it is

MOPs create tiny micro-perforations in the bone around selected teeth. This stimulates the body’s natural bone-remodeling response, allowing teeth to move more efficiently. The procedure takes only minutes and typically requires little to no downtime.

What it can make possible

  • Change Invisalign aligners as often as every 5 days
  • Close stubborn spaces more quickly
  • Accelerate difficult or slow tooth movements
  • Help restart tooth movement when progress has stalled
  • Speed up selected movements with Invisalign or braces

Experience matters

Our doctors have extensive experience using MOPs with both Invisalign and braces. We use MOPs selectively — only when accelerating bone remodeling can meaningfully improve treatment.

For difficult tooth movements or spaces that aren’t closing as expected, MOPs can provide an additional biological boost to help treatment progress more efficiently and predictably.
