Accelerated orthodontics (AO): The past, present and the future

Accelerated orthodontics (AO) is emerging as a revolutionary approach in achieving desired orthodontic results in a shorter timeframe. AO modalities, both invasive and non-invasive promise to bring about rapid orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) transformations through targeted bone remodeling. From micro-osteoperforations facilitating bone remodeling to photobiomodulation enhancing cellular activity, the armamentarium of accelerated orthodontics promises to not only shorten treatment times but also potentially unlock novel therapeutic avenues for complex malocclusions.
