The main perplexing challenge in the orthodontic treatment is the long duration of the treatment. The orthodontic force applied only static force results in hyalinization. If a light vibratory force is applied along with the fixed orthodontic force, it will reduce the hyalinization phase thus enhance the tooth movement. This study aims to investigate the effect of the intraoral vibratory stimulation on the tooth movement in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Fixed orthodontic treatment cases in which bilateral premolar extractions are performed were selected. Split mouth study was done in these patients. Patients were provided electric tooth brushes to use daily for 15min / day. OPG’s were obtained periodically and the relevant structures were traced. Measurements were done from canine to 2nd premolar and from canine to 1st molar in all the subjects. The amount of tooth movement was calculated and compared in both experimental and control side. The manual readings show the significant difference between the rates of tooth movement by 2% in experimental group as compared to control group.
