Orthodontic forces dependent on bone density measurements are determined by measuring bone density data in a scan of at least a portion of the teeth and jaw to produce a visual map of bone density is a selected area of the ja w. A two or three dimensional image of at least a portion of the jaw and tee th in the selected area of the jaw is generated. The bone density image is m apped into the two or three dimensional image. The attachment points on sele cted teeth, selected positions in the jaw, and/or selected orthodontic appli ances to be connected to the teeth or jaw is determined. A force to be appli ed to the determined attachment points to move at least one tooth a predeter mined distance and direction in the jaw taking into account the bone density through which the at least one tooth must move is calculated.
