ABSTRACT
Orthodontic treatment is a time-consuming process whose duration usually takes 2-3 years. In general, long-term treatment duration possesses higher risks of complications, which may have adverse impact on patients. Therefore, exploring safe and effective adjunctive interventions to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and shortening the treatment duration are of profound clinical significance. Currently, numerous adjunctive interventions have been generated and developed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which can be divided into two main categories: surgical and non-surgical. However, an intervention that is widely accepted as a routine practice in orthodontic clinic is lacking. This article aims to review com-mon adjunctive interventions used to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. This review can be used as a basis to guide clinical practice, shorten treatment duration, and improve patients' prognosis.
