The trend in clinical field has shown a palpable shift from conventional braces to innovative technologies like clear aligners.Clear aligners use computerized 3D technology to visualize and move the teeth in a virtual model. This technology along with advances in 3D printing and manufacturing efficiencies allow aligners to be produced in a large number and in a timely fashion. Initial cases were mild crowding or spacing which progress to cases that need expansion and malocclusion correction. This clear aligner technique is continually evolving because of research and development in materials,...

Orthodontic tooth movement can be carried out successfully with endodontically treated teeth. It is always recommend to use of moderate and intermittent forces enables sufficient tooth movement, limits the damage in the pulp, and allows the damaged pulp healing.Endodontically treated teeth can be moved orthodontically as readily as teeth with vital pulps. If teeth require root canal treatment during orthodontic movement, it is recommended that the root canals be cleaned, shaped and an interim dressing of calcium hydroxide be placed. The tooth should be sealed occlusally to prevent bacterial...

Orthodontic space closure should be individually planned based on the diagnosis and treatment plan. The selection of any treatment modality, whether a technique, stage, spring, or appliance designs, should be based on the desired tooth movement.

Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process that needs to be done with a detail knowledge of various factors affecting it in order to achieve optimal and needful movement of teeth while treating different kinds of mal-occlusion. OTM can occur rapidly or slowly, depending on the physical characteristics of the applied force, and the size and biological response of the PDL(Periodontal ligament). The orthodontic forces can be heavy or light, which causes rapid or slow tooth movement. Therefore, optimal orthodontic force plays an important role for maximum tooth movement to occur with minimal...
