METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENABLING AND STABILIZING TOOTH MOVEMENT

摘要

Orthodontic methods comprise applying force to reposition teeth and administering a tissue remodeling and/or an angiogenic substance(s) to the periodontal tissue surrounding the teeth to be moved. The substance(s) may b e delivered before, during, or after the teeth are moved, and the substance(s) may be selectively applied only to those teeth undergoing movement at any particular time. The substance(s) may be applied from the dental repositioni ng appliance or may be applied separately, either topically or by injection.
