Accelerated Orthodontics

Abstract

The prolonged duration of traditional orthodontic treatment has long been a concern due to its association with adverse effects such as decalcification, caries, root resorption, and gingival inflammation. With the growing demand for adult orthodontics and an increased focus on improving both oral health and aesthetics, there has been a surge of interest in methods to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). This review explores a wide range of innovative strategies aimed at reducing treatment time while enhancing patient outcomes and minimizing complications.
