The often long course of orthodontic therapy is one of its most difficult aspects. In addition to causing pathologic changes (root resorption, periodontal issues), prolonged therapy is burdensome for both patients and their parents. Wilckodontics, an alternative term for Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics, is the practice of rapidly moving teeth by decortication. It is a meticulously researched technique that is said to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment by six to nine months. It is a Descriptive Study with total of 180 doctors were selected and were further grouped as 60 dental practitioners, 60 orthodontist and 60 oral surgeons and they were given a questionnaire containing 12 close ended questions related to Wilckodontics
