Abstract
Accelerating the speed of orthodontic tooth movement should contribute to the shortening of the treatment period, which is one of the unfavorable aspects of orthodontic treatment. This study developed the resonance vibration delivery system and evaluated the effects of resonance vibration on tooth movement, and revealed the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the periodontal ligament responses. The application of resonance vibration might accelerate orthodontic tooth movement via enhanced receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand expression in the periodontal ligament without additional damage to periodontal tissues, such as root resorption.
