    This document discusses biomechanics and tooth movement in orthodontics. It covers several key topics in 3 paragraphs: 1) It introduces biomechanics as the study of how forces from orthodontic appliances act on biological tissues like teeth, ligaments and bone, causing tooth movement. Understanding biomechanics is important for optimizing force systems. 2) It describes two approaches to studying tooth movement - quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative measures actual movement while qualitative assesses movement without measurement. 3) It discusses key biomechanical concepts like forces, force diagrams, centers of resistance, rotation and gravity which influence how and where teeth move in response to applied forces. Understanding these biomechanical principles helps researchers and clinicians

    BIOMECHANICS AND TOOTH MOVEMENT

    IN ORTHODONTICS

    INTRODUCTION

    The foundation of orthodontic mechanics are the key to


    understanding how orthodontic appliances work and are critical
    in designing treatment methodologies and appliances.

    When the knowledge and methods of mechanics are applied to


    the structure and function of living systems (biology)
    for example, a tooth and its surrounding oral,
    it is called biomechanics

    Study of biomechanics of tooth movement can help researchers


    and clinicians to optimize their force systems applied on teeth to
    get better responses at the clinical, tissue, cellular, or molecular
    level of tooth movement.
    Mechanics is the science which deals with the action of force in
    the form and motion of bodies

    Biomechanis is the study of the action of forces delivered by


    orthodontic appliances on the biologic tissues such as the teeth,
    periodontal ligament and the bones

    An orthodontic appliance is a system, storing and delivering


    forces againts the teeth, muscles or bone and creating a reaction
    within the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone that causes
    movements of the teeth or alters bone morphology or growth
    APPROACHES TO STUDYING TOOTH MOVEMENT

    • Two approaches are used to study the biological and


    mechanical aspects of tooth movement:
    1. a quantitative approach: movement of teeth or the
    associated skeletal structures in numerical terms.
    2. a qualitative approach: movement in nonnumerical terms
    (i.e., without measuring or counting any parts of the
    performance)
    FORCE

    • force can be thought of as a measure of the push or


    pull on an object.
    • A force is something that causes or tends to cause a
    change in motion or shape of an object or body.
    • force causes an object to accelerate or decelerate. It is
    measured in Newtons (N) but in orthodontics force is
    nearly always measured in grams (g).
    FORCE DIAGRAMS AND VECTORS

    • A force may be represented on paper by an arrow.


    • Each of its four properties may be represented by
    the arrow whose length is drawn to a scale selected
    to represent the magnitude of the force for
    example, 1cm = 1 N or 2 cm = 2 N
    • The arrow is drawn to point in the direction in
    which the force is applied and the tail of the arrow
    is placed at the point of force application
    FORCE DIAGRAMS AND VECTORS
    CENTER OF RESISTANCE, CENTER
    OF GRAVITY, AND CENTER OF MASS
    • The center of resistance can also
    be defined by its relationship to
    the force: a force for which the
    line of action passes through the
    center of resistance producing a
    movement of pure translation.
    • It must be noted that, for a
    given tooth, this movement may
    be mesiodistal or
    vestibulolingual, intrusive or
    extrusive.
    Thus the position of the center of resistance is
    also a function of the nature of the periodontal
    structures and the density of the alveolar bone
    and the elasticity of the desmodontal structures,
    which are strongly related to the patient’s age
    MOMENT (TORQUE)
    CENTER OF ROTATION

    Center of rotation is a fixed point


    around which a two- dimensional
    figure appears to be rotated as
    determined from its initial and final
    positions
