The impact of acceleration techniques extends beyond their effect on the rate of tooth movement to many other applications due to their temporary effect on bone density. From a mechano-therapeutic standpoint, these localized effects may change the anchorage properties of individual teeth, and as a result, the application of these techniques around a targeted tooth and away from anchor teeth can help in reducing the movement of anchor teeth. Another area of interest is the anabolic effect of these techniques that when used wisely could tremendously change the boundaries of orthodontic tooth movement and increase our ability to correct severe orthodontic malformations non-surgically.
