The goal of this article is to enhance the biological awareness of the orthodontic practitioner in order to minimise and avoid tissue damage during orthodontic treatment. In this part, Profs Park and Davidovitch summarise their conclusions.
It may be concluded that an optimal orthodontic force is one that is applied with full attention to the anatomical constraints and peculiarities of every individual patient. Therefore, orthodontic treatment plans must focus on the desired changes in dental root position, rather than on adherence to some “universal” system of mechanotherapy as a solve-all approach. Issues such as force magnitude, duration, and direction, must be considered individually for each patient, with the clear understanding that anatomical constraints should not be violated or ignored during the correction of a malocclusion. When potentially damaging movements of dental roots are avoided, orthodontic forces may be considered biologically and clinically optimal. From this point of view, the Amalgamated Technique appears presently as the closest to be defined as an optimal mechanotherapeutic system biologically, as well as clinically.
