Biology in Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialty where mechanic and biology are integrated. To know the details of biological events that unfold during tooth movement is important. Clinical Orthodontics is a specialty staunchly entrenched in biology, mechanics, physiology and pathology.
The tooth movement is conducted in individual human beings, each composed of a unique and intricate physiologic system. The differences that are observed in the results of orthodontic treatment between patients with similar malocclusions treated similarly, may depend on biological variations.
