Non-surgical adjunctive interventions for accelerating tooth movement in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Accelerating the rate of tooth movement may help to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment and associated unwanted effects including root resorption and enamel demineralisation. Several methods, including surgical and non-surgical adjuncts, have been advocated to accelerate the rate of tooth movement. Non-surgical techniques include low-intensity laser irradiation, resonance vibration, pulsed electromagnetic fields, electrical currents and pharmacological approaches.
