Biomechanics in Orthodontics

Biomechanics in orthodontics refers to the study of how forces and movements are used to guide teeth into their proper positions. It involves understanding how applying controlled pressure can shift teeth within the jawbone over time, ensuring stable and effective results. By analyzing how teeth respond to different forces, orthodontists can design precise treatment plans to correct misalignments, optimize comfort, and minimize unwanted effects. Essentially, it combines principles of physics and biology to safely and efficiently achieve a balanced, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smile.
