The effectiveness of supplemental vibrational force on enhancing orthodontic treatment. A systematic review

ConclusionsThere is insufficient evidence to support the claim that SVFs have positive clinical advantages in the alignment of the anterior teeth. The potential positive effects of vibrational forces on space closure, pain experience, and root resorption in orthodontic patients are inconclusive with no sufficient information at present. High-quality clinical trials with larger sample sizes are needed to find more comprehensive evidence of the potential positive effects of vibrational forces.RegistrationThe protocol for this systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42018098788).FundingThis study has not received any contributions from private or public funding agencies.Conflict of InterestNone.
