ABSTRACT

Although contemporary orthodontics has established a relatively complete system, the planning of treatment options and the preparation of orthodontic appliances still heavily rely on the personal experience of orthodontists. However, orthodontists cannot predict the orthodontic force generated by the appliances, leading to frequent follow-up visits and adjustments, which result in a "trial and error" treatment approach. This not only prolongs treatment time and increases treatment costs but also brings additional side effects. Currently, orthodontic treatment in clinical treatment period is long, and side effects are large. Therefore, shortening the clinical treatment time is essential. This article analyzes the biomechanics of orthodontics and discusses the reasonable range of orthodontic forces, aiming to provide reference for shortening the clinical treatment time of orthodontics.
