Current advances in orthodontic pain

Abstract

Chinese researchers describe the advances in treatment options designed to alleviate the discomfort of orthodontic patients. Orthodontic pain is caused by tooth movement, leading to an immune response and local inflammation. Hu Long and colleagues at the West China Hospital of Stomatology in Chengdu review the current understanding of the etiology of orthodontic pain, and the strategies available to treat the suffering of patients. The cellular products of tissue compression and local inflammation act directly on nerve endings to produce painful sensations. Clinical management of this pain can include medication, laser therapy, cognitive approaches (to alleviate the psychological stress), and, potentially, gene therapy. The authors concede that there is more to understand regarding orthodontic pain; however, the techniques described present promising avenues of exploration for effective therapy.
