Cyclic Loading - Accelerating Orthodontic Treatment

Dr. Rachna Darak, Dr. Prathamesh Fulsundar

Abstract :

The major drawbacks of orthodontic treatment which are responsible for patient dropouts are the long span of treatment and associated pain. Various advancements have been made in order to overcome these drawbacks which include medicines, corticotomy techniques, laser therapy, photobiomodulation etc. One such advancement is the introduction of viations in orthodontics. Viations have been used in the medical field since a very long time for bone modification procedures. Recent studies have shown that viations can also be used in orthodontics to accelerate tooth movement, thereby reducing the overall treatment time. Apart from this, it also has the advantage of reducing the pain associated with the treatment making it more acceptable to patients. However this technology is still in its infancy and more clinical studies and research is required to prove its efficacy.
