Orthodontic treatment is a procedure that is used for the improvement of abnormal shape, position, relation and function of structures dentomaxilofaciales, using and controlling different types of forces, mainly observed in children younger than 12 years. The ridge split is a surgical procedure that is used primarily for the placement of dental implants in those people who fall in cortical, but also can be taken as a good adjunct technique to facilitate orthodontic treatment in patients with older age at which the tooth movement is slower and there is less bone preventing condensation which teeth can be positioned. When no movement is produced by the reduction in the effectiveness of the tissues. The aim of this paper is to propose a technique to help ridge split as and adjunct in clinical orthodontic treatment in adults, through a case presentation that had a good result without any complication.
