Abstract:

Although the current technical systems of orthodontic tooth movement are practically mature, a noticeable gap still exists between the overall treatment results and the expectations. According to literature review, orthodontic tooth movement involves three core scientific issues, i.e., position objective, efficiency, and accuracy. Research concerning these three issues is the key to further improve orthodontic treatment outcomes and promote progress of the subject orthodontics.

Key words: orthodontics, orthodontic tooth movement, position objective, efficiency, accuracy
