… We communicate with PDL and alveolar bone cells in applying orthodontic forces to teeth …
-disturbing orthodontic mechanics, these cells enable bone response, tooth movement, and …

… alignment, and the alveolodental ligament group of fibers helps teeth withstand compression
forces during mastication. In addition to principal fibers, accessory fibers run from alveolar …

… Very low forces are capable of moving teeth. Classically, ideal forces in orthodontic tooth
movement are those which just overcome capillary blood pressure. In this situation bone …

… This seemingly obvious statement is true for intermittent forces as well. A plate that is worn
night and day will cause more tooth movement t,han a plate worn only at night. But, as pointed …

… tooth movement involves the solution of the system displacement, 5, and the resulting
stresses, cr, under a known set of applied forces F. The continuum mechanics problem can be …

… A clinical implication may be derived from this study in that a considerably lower force is
desirable for orthodontic tooth movement in adults particularly during the initial application of the …

… This report, dealing with the effects of two different types of forces, revealed that tooth
movement was achieved more effectively with a continuous force than with an interrupted con…

… on the teeth of the ‘steel group’. It may be concluded that a greater amount of tooth movement
… wires, with initially higher but rapidly declining forces in an experimental set up for a period …

… constant rate of tooth movement as a function of force at high forces. To … forces working to
produce maximum tooth movement on the tooth or teeth to be moved while submaximal forces …

… orthodontic tooth movement. The effects range from increasing to decreasing the rate of tooth
movement… of vibration on bone and orthodontic tooth movement. Evidence from animal and …
