Starting orthodontic tooth movement early as possible, to create or close spaces in the arch, or to tract impacted teeth, is crucial to decrease orthodontic treatment time. Doing this without even bonding braces, is a dream for orthodontists.
The main clue to achieve this goal is to find the suitable site and source for orthodontic force application.
The palate provides a site where skeletal anchorage can be designed not only to move the teeth in three dimensions, but also to apply orthopedic forces without dental side effects, and to expand the biologic limits for tooth movement.
