Accelerated Orthodontics: A Frontier in Orthodontic Treatment
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
The time span of orthodontic treatment is the principal concern of many orthodontic patients. Unfortunately, long orthodontic treatment time poses several disadvantages like a higher predisposition to dental caries, gingival recession and root resorption. Consequently, researchers introduced few methods toaccelerate the velocity of the tooth movement. These kind of methods became popular as accelerated orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment involves the response of the tissues surrounding the tooth on which the force is being applied that happens on a chemical, cellular and mechanical level. So to enhance the body’s response to these orthodontic forces, various ways were found to accelerate the treatment. This article reviews the biology of tooth movement and discusses various methods like surgical methods-osteotomy and corticotomy and physical methods like low level lasers, direct electric current effect and their promising results along with their limitations.
