“…The enhanced catabolic cascade that follows HFV stimulation is responsible for the recruitment, differentiation, and significantly increased proliferation of osteoclast cells crucial for tooth movement. [111226] This conclusion is supported by previous in-vitro and in-vivo experiments using vibration and compressive force on PDL and bone cells. [25272829]…”

“…[12] A recent human study with a similarly calibrated 120 Hz high-frequency device confirmed similar patterns of inflammatory cytokine upregulation which again correlated with increased rate of movement, and was accompanied by decreased reported orthodontic pain levels. [11] This trial included subjects using the same aligner system (Invisalign Smarttrack, Align technology, San Jose CA), the same aligner exchange interval (7-days). Notably, the variable associated with the significant change in biology was randomization to 5 minutes daily use of a bite-wafer type mouthpiece attached to either a sham or active HFV device (VPro, Propel Orthodontics, Ossining NY).…”

OBJECTIVES: Previous reports have shown that high-frequency vibration can increase bone remodeling and accelerate tooth movement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of high-frequency vibration on treatment phase tooth movement, and post-treatment bone density at initiation of retention, with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with initial Class I skeletal relationships, initial minimum-moderate crowding (3–5 mm), treated to completion with clear aligners and adjunctive high-frequency vibration, (HFV group) or no vibration, (Control group) were evaluated. The patients were instructed to change aligners as soon as they become loose. Changes in bone density associated with orthodontic treatment were evaluated using i-CAT cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and InVivo Anatomage ® software to quantify density using Hounsfield units (HU) between treated teeth in 10 different regions. HU values were averaged and compared against baseline (T1) and between the groups at initiation of retention (T2). RESULTS: The average time for aligner change was 5.2 days in the HFV group, and 8.7 days in the control group ( P = 0.0001). There was significant T1 to T2 increase of HU values in the upper arch ( P = 0.0001) and the lower arch ( P = 0.008) in the HFV group. There was no significant change in average HU values in the upper ( P = 0.83) or lower arches ( P = 0.33) in the control group. The intergroup comparison revealed a significant difference in the upper, ( P = 0.0001) and lower arches ( P = 0.007). CONCLUSION: High-frequency vibration adjunctive to clear aligners, allowed early aligner changes that led to shorter treatment time in minimum-moderate crowded cases. At initiation of retention, the HFV group demonstrated statistically significant increase as compared with pre-treatment bone density, whereas control subjects showed no significant change from pre-treatment bone density.

“…Furthermore, applying vibration after application of continuous orthodontic force significantly decreased the duration of face grooming behavior, in agreement with the clinical study by Lobre et al in 2015 (9). Likewise, in 2018, Alansari et al (19) have reported that daily exposure to 5 min high-frequency vibration reduced pain perception in humans according to a numerical rating. Similarly, Stacy et al (7) have demonstrated that exposure to 30 Hz vibration for 20 min reduced orthodontic pain, as indicated by a visual analog scale.…”

“…These peptidergic neurons convey noxious information from the maxillary arch to the lateral restricted area of the maxillary division of the TG. We employed electrical toothbrushes to apply high-frequency vibration as these tools are inexpensive, simple to use, widely available and the approach is non-invasive (9,19).…”
