Acclerated orthodontics- A review article
Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Prolonged treatment duration is one of the main deterants in orthodontics. Lengthy orthodontic treatment prompts many patients, especially adults, to either avoid treatment or to seek shorter alternative solutions with compromised results. Therefore, the treatment modalities that decrease treatment time without compromising the treatment outcome is an active area of research in orthodontics today. Various methods have been introduced to enhance the rate of tooth movement which include surgical methods, mechanical stimulation methods and some drugs. These methods have successfully proven to reduce treatment times by up to 70%. This review encapsulates the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying accelerated orthodontic tooth movement, and the clinical and experimental methods that accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.
