Orthodontics which has long been known as a technique-oriented discipline has evolved into a comprehensive specialty that integrates all aspects of medicine. The objectives of orthodontic treatment must include good facial esthetics, adequate function as well as stability in the ultimate positions of the dentition and jaws. However, the patient’s primary concern is the treatment duration. The past decade has been a surge in innovations pertaining to the field of orthodontics aimed at shortening the length of the treatment for adult patients. To date, several new modalities have been reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement including micro-osteoperforation, LLLT, AcceleDent, OrthoPulse. Despite advancements in various fields of orthodontics, accelerated tooth movement remains a topic of academic interest for research.
