Article Abstract
As the biological mechanisms of orthodontic tooth movement have been explored further, scholars have gradually focused on the remodelling mechanism of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the periodontal ligament (PDL). The ECM of the PDL consists of various types of collagens and other glycoproteins. The specific process and mechanism of ECM remodelling during orthodontic tooth movement remains unclear. Collagen I and III, which constitute major components of the PDL, are upregulated under orthodontic force. The changes in the contents of ECM proteins also depend on the expression of ECM-related enzymes, which organise new collagen fibre networks to adapt to changes in tooth position. The matrix metalloproteinase family is the main enzyme that participates in collagen hydrolysis and renewal and changes its expression under orthodontic force. Moreover, ECM adhesion molecules, such as integrins, are also regulated by orthodontic force and participate in the dynamic reaction of cell adhesion and separation with the ECM. This article reviews the changes in ECM components, related enzymes and adhesion molecules in the PDL under orthodontic force to lay the foundation for the exploration of the regulatory mechanism of ECM remodelling during orthodontic tooth movement.

Randomised Clinical Trial on the Effect of Intermittent Vibrational Force Application During Orthodontic Treatment With Aligners on Root Resorption.
Orthod Craniofac Res
September 2025
Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Objective: The aim of this RCT was to analyse the relationship between intermittent vibratory forces and external apical root resorption (EARR) in patients treated with clear aligners, building on prior research on vibrational effects on biomarkers.
Materials And Methods: A parallel, three-arm randomised clinical trial included adults to be treated with clear aligners, randomly assigned by a computerised randomisation list to: Group A (vibration from treatment onset), Group B (vibration after 6 weeks), or Group C (no vibration). While patients and orthodontists were aware of group assignments, evaluators remained blinded.

Private Practice, Brisbane, Australia.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-nicotine cigarette smoke (CS) inhalation on orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rats.
Methods: Forty 4-week-old male Wistar rats, were randomly divided into four groups: three experimental and one control. Group 1 (control group) had dental impressions taken at week 9.
Measurement-Based Analysis of a Novel Method for Orthodontic Mandibular Molar Protraction Using an Improved Superelastic Ni-Ti Alloy Wire.

Purpose Improved superelastic nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy wires (ISWs) can be used not only for aligning but also for closing the extraction space. The objective of this study was to measure and compare the force and moment generated during mandibular molar protraction using an ISW combined with either short or long hooks under simulated crowded dentition conditions. Materials and methods Assuming crowded dentition following mandibular first premolar extraction, we designed a three-tooth model simulating the canine, the second premolar, and the first molar.

Clear aligners offer aesthetic and comfort advantages in orthodontics, yet their ability to deliver effective forces relies heavily on empirical judgment or large-scale optical scanning, lacking real-time quantitative evaluation. Integrating pressure sensors into aligners is a promising solution, but challenges in miniaturization, multi-dimensional sensing, measurement accuracy, and biocompatibility hinder clinical application. Here, an all-in-one Orthodontic Force Acquisition System (OFAS) is presented that enables real-time, 3D force monitoring using a cross-shaped iontronic sensing array and an origami-inspired, wireless battery-free readout circuit miniaturized for single-tooth placement.

Maxillary underdevelopment is a critical component of skeletal Class III malocclusion, closely linked to altered biomechanical signaling. Mechanical stimulation through early facemask protraction can effectively promote maxillary growth, yet the underlying mechanotransduction mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is identified as a key biomechanical responder in maxillary development.
