It has been reported that vibration, lasers and modifying the alveolar bone can expedite orthodontic tooth movement. However, it remains debatable whether these methods affect the long-term rate of orthodontic tooth movement and whether these methods produce a greater rate of tooth movement than placebo. In this lecture, we will review the current evidence, proposed biological mechanisms and potential side effects of accelerated tooth movement procedures.
Learning Objectives:
Determine the efficacy of accelerated orthodontic tooth movement methods.
Recognize the biological mechanism behind accelerated orthodontic tooth movement.
Identify potential side effects of Accelerated tooth movement procedures.
