[sup][9],[10] Some studies including clinical orthodontic treatment and experimental
tooth movement (ETM) to compare the emotional status before and after
tooth movement show positive outcomes.

A finite element model of apical force distribution from orthodontic
tooth movement. Angle Orthod 2001;71:127-31.
The incisor axis, however, is not always easily improved by orthodontic treatment, because there is no room at the symphyseal region in the thin bone for
tooth movement as mentioned before, and the root will be exposed if rotational movement around the incisal edge is forced (Figure 2(a)).
Thus, it was shown [29] that VEGF plays an important role in periodontal remodeling during orthodontic
tooth movement.
Besides pathological conditions, orthodontic
tooth movement also stimulates those biological mediators in response to therapeutic mechanical forces.
Measuring dental drift and orthodontic
tooth movement in response to various initial forces in adult rats.
Hess uses a 3D computer model to plan
tooth movement. Then a robot creates a one-of-a-kind archwire for the patient.
