A Review of Orthodontic Biomechanics
Biomechanical research in the field of orthodontics started in the early sixties with the work of
Burstone and collaborators on the mechanical behaviour of orthodontic appliances and the
numerical analysis of teeth under orthodontic loading. Since then the experimental and
numerical resources have increased significantly. Nevertheless we are still far away from a full
understanding of how the orthodontic load is transferred into a mechanical stimulus within the
tooth's socket, initiating bone remodelling processes. After a short introduction into basic
principles of biomechanics in general, this presentation will summarize the recent biomechanical
work in the field of orthodontics: biomechancial behaviour of the periodontal ligament (PDL),
combined histological and biomechanical work to study the nature of orthodontic tooth
movement, numerical bone remodelling simulation of orthodontic tooth movements,
experimental and theoretical determination of centres of resistance of single- and multi-rooted
teeth and groups of teeth, and biomechanics of orthodontic anchorage implants.
A Review of Orthodontic Materials Science
Proper selection of materials and devices has an extreme influence on the performance of an
orthodontic appliance. Above all, forces and torques depend on the wire alloy and cross section.
Reduction of forces and torques with the aim to reduce the risk of damage of the tooth
supporting structures has made enormous progress in the past years. Since the introduction of
Nitinol, the first nickel titanium shape memory alloy, into orthodontics in 1971 by Andreasen,
nickel titanium alloys have found broad interest and nearly every manufacturer offers a variety
of nickel titanium wires with different mechanical characteristics. This lecture gives a survey of
the basic material properties of superelastic NiTi alloys, their clinical force systems, and their
intraoral corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility. Clinical consequences of intraoral force
systems as well as intraoral and experimentally simulated Ni-ion release are discussed. A
further aspect of orthodontic material science of particular importance is the frictional behaviour
of various bracket/wire combinations in arch guided tooth movement. Physical background,
affecting material parameters, and results for various arch/wire bracket systems are discussed
with a special emphasis on self ligating bracket systems.
