Accelerating Orthodontic Tooth Movement: A Biological Perspective

Orthodontic professionals are now shifting their focus towards achieving accelerated tooth movement through minimally or non-invasive methods, with the ultimate goal of improving the rate, quality, and stability of orthodontic treatment.

Recent research has seen the development of new procedures that have been extensively tested in humans, animal models, and in vitro. While there is growing interest in the industry and at the clinical level, there is still limited understanding of the biological mechanisms involved. It is crucial to recognize that simply increasing force can lead to tooth morbidity and arrest tooth migration, highlighting the need for a multi-disciplinary approach to achieve success.

This publication brings together expert insights from a range of fields to shed light on the complex processes involved in orthodontic tooth movement. By gaining a deeper understanding of the biological structures and mechanisms that respond to biomechanical forces, clinicians and researchers can better assess and accelerate orthodontic treatment.

Edited by A. Kantarci, L. Will, S. Yen, and P.T. Sharpe, this book presents cutting-edge research aimed at improving our understanding of conventional and accelerated orthodontic tooth movement from a biological perspective. This comprehensive resource will be invaluable to clinicians, researchers, academics, and students seeking to advance their knowledge in this field.
