Methods of Accelerating Orthodontic Teeth Movement

Abstract

Traditional orthodontic treatment is a long process that usually takes 2-3years.Such sophisticated orthodontic equipment as well as long term treatment duration may not only buck the cutting edge trend of "comfort, aesthetics, function and efficiency" in the orthodontic field but contribute to higher risks of complications. Thus, it is pivotal to give top priority to normal dentofacial functions, facial aesthetics as well as short treatment duration under the premise of comfort treatment. Nowadays, numerous adjunctive interventions have been developed by domestic and foreign researchers to accelerate orthodontic teeth movement, which are mainly divided into two categories: surgical intervention and non-surgical intervention. The authors of this thesis have reviewed multiple vital factors accelerating the speed of orthodontic teeth movement to provide readers with wide clinical inspirations so as to optimize the experience of the patient and reduce the incidence of orthodontic complications.
