Aim: To evaluate and compare the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption by microosteoperforation (MOP) and mechanical vibration in young adults with bimaxillary protrusion.Method: Twenty patients having class I bimaxillary protrusion who required all first premolar extraction were allocated into two groups MOP (Group A) and mechanical vibration (Group B), with a 1:1 allocation ratio. After leveling alignment MOP was performed on either side of the arch, and vibration was applied on the contralateral side 20 mins per day. Canines were retracted with nickel-titanium coil springs, and Alginate impressions were taken every four weeks till 4 months.Result: The mean rate of retraction of canines of Group A was more than Group B. There was a statistically significant difference between Group A and Group B. (p=0.0120) Conclusion: The mean rate of retraction of canines treated by MOP was 1.15 mm per 4 weeks, and by mechanical vibration, 0.8mm per 4 weeks.
