Teeth move through the alveolar bone in response to naturally occurring or orthodontic forces. Orthodontists strive to maximize tooth movement while reducing potential risks. Understanding the biological mechanisms of tooth movement is fundamental to optimizing this process. In this chapter, we discuss the molecular and cellular events that occur in response to orthodontic forces that mediate and allow tooth movement to occur. We also review different theories of tooth movement and the scientific evidence that led us to propose a new theory for how teeth respond the orthodontics forces, the biphasic theory of tooth movement.

摘要

Teeth move through the alveolar bone in response to naturally occurring or orthodontic forces. Orthodontists strive to maximize tooth movement while reducing potential risks. Understanding the biological mechanisms of tooth movement is fundamental to optimizing this process. In this chapter, we discuss the molecular and cellular events that occur in response to orthodontic forces that mediate and allow tooth movement to occur. We also review different theories of tooth movement and the scientific evidence that led us to propose a new theory for how teeth respond the orthodontics forces, the biphasic theory of tooth movement.
