Tooth movements occur systematically, thanks to the regular responses of the tissues, in order to maintain the balance against biological and mechanical stimuli. The most important factor affecting the amount of tooth movement is remodeling in the alveolar bone. Different methods to move teeth faster have been tried for years. The teeth are moved with brackets and wires in the bracket slot. In the mesiodistal movement of the tooth, a friction occurs between the bracket and the wire, as happens in all mechanics in nature. 40-50% of approximate force applied for tooth movement is used to overcome the friction resistance. It is not applicable to apply too much force to the teeth in order to overcome the friction force. Very heavy forces cause undesirable movements or immobility of the teeth, pain and loss of anchorage. Although a limited number of cells in the affected area are activated as a result of cellular activation provided by mechanical appliances, it has been suggested that all or most of the cells in the area are activated by chemical and physical applications. In this respect, studies on the benefits of locally applied agents in orthodontic treatment have been increased. Recent publications 1.
