Abstract

Teeth move through alveolar bone through naturally occurring drift or in response to orthodontic forces. Orthodontists want to optimize this movement while reducing potential risk factors. Orthodontic researchers have taken on this clinical challenge by uncovering the biological phenomena associated with tooth movement. It was believed that teeth move due to compression and tension of the alveolar bone induced by orthodontic forces that cause bone resorption and formation respectively. However, research on bone biology has shown that bone does not respond to static forces, and in fact, bone is not the target of our orthodontic forces. In this chapter, we show how orthodontic forces stimulate an inflammatory response in periodontal ligaments (PDL) that in turn activates the bone remodeling machinery.
