Abstract
Unlike conventional fixed orthodentic treatment approaches, Invisalign is a system that uses diagnostics data to create a three-dimensional image of the desired course of tooth movement; a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners are then fabricated and used to achieve the treatment goal. This book explains the technique.

The effect of indomethacin (an aspirin-like drug) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
Indomethacin, an aspirin-like drug, significantly slows down orthodontic tooth movement, suggesting a need to avoid its use during treatment.

The effect of gingival fiberotomy on the rate of tooth movement.
Gingival fiberotomy can speed up orthodontic tooth movement, as resistance of gingival tissues may be a rate-limiting factor in tooth movement.

A biomechanical study of the human periodontal ligament.
The mechanical properties of the human periodontal ligament vary at different root levels, with shear strength being constant at the upper part and decreasing in apical direction, while elastic stiffness remains constant.
