The society always is in force by patterns of aesthetic face that, for obvious reasons, give special importance to the components dento-maxilars. The dentistry in its different specialties is in charge to correct the anomalies that appear in those components as functionally as aesthetically. The orthodontics science specifically works, in the dental position, it refers to obtain a functional and aesthetic harmony, using mechanical forces and devices designed specially for this aim. Nevertheless, there are cases in which is necessary to use complementary periodontal surgical techniques due to the presence of denser alveolar crests (compared with the common and normal) that prevent the fast and efficient movement that the orthodontics science requires. For this, we have to apply the procedure known like flexicorticotomy that consists of realising a controlled fracture with bony expansion. For this purpose, we will use progressive bony expansors. Inmediately, we have to separate the cortical bone we need to obtain a furrow with diameter and the depth adapted to permit the dental movement more easily. In the present article, we report a clinical case in which a flexicorticotomy (in a too narrow crest) was made with the purpose of correcting interdental space concerning anteroinferior dental organs, which is aesthetically unacceptable for the patient. That is necessary to complete a successful work of the orthodontics treatment, suitable tissue regeneration and post-operative ideal without complications.
