Abstract
One of the most important concerns of patients is the need for orthodontic treatment, is the long duration of treatment and pain and discomfort during treatment. Also, long duration of treatment, is associated with increased caries risk, root resorption and gingival recession. Reducing the duration of treatment reduces the complications of orthodontic treatments and at the same time increases patient satisfaction. There has been a great deal of research in the area of accelerated tooth movement to reduce treatment time. There are various methods to accelerate tooth movement, including chemicals (prostaglandin E2, vitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone), ultrasonic application and electrical stimulants. Today, a new invasive, non-invasive technique is used to accelerate tooth movement in orthodontics, including corticotomy surgery and laser therapy. The purpose of this study was to review the mechanism of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment and to investigate the invasive and non-invasive interventional methods to accelerate tooth movement during orthodontics.
