Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process that involves the co ordinated activity of many cell types and numerous chemical mediators this chapter provides a summary of the mechanism of orthodontic tooth movement effects of force on the periodontal ligament. Tooth movement depends on the rate at which bone remodels and hence better knowledge of specific biochemical pathways in individual patients will provide a key to predicting ho w well teeth. The physical behavior of tooth movement due to orthodontic force relies on newtons laws the tooth biological system reacts to variation in force magnitude time of application and directionality through receptor cells and signaling cascades that ultimately produce bone remodeling and orthodontic tooth movement otm
