Takeaways
- 📐 The center of resistance is a fixed point that a force must pass through to move an object in a straight line.
- 🔄 The center of rotation is an unfixed point around which an object rotates, determined by its initial and final position.
- 🚫 Applying force through the center of resistance prevents rotation, while force applied off-center creates a moment or rotation.
- 📈 The moment of a force is calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the center of resistance.

- 🦷 The center of resistance for a tooth is typically located near the center of the root, but can vary with periodontal health and root resorption.
- 🦷 Tooth movement can be categorized as uncontrolled tipping, controlled tipping, bodily movement, root torque, and rotation.
- 🔄 The ratio of the moment of a couple to the moment of a force helps describe and achieve different types of tooth movement.
- 🌟 Anchorage in orthodontics refers to the resistance to unwanted tooth movement and is based on Newton's third law.

Q & A
What is the combination of biology and mechanics called in the context of orthodontics?
-In orthodontics, the combination of biology and mechanics is referred to as biomechanics.
What is the center of resistance in mechanics?
-The center of resistance is a fixed point that a force must pass through in order to move an object in a straight line.
How does the center of resistance for a tooth differ from an object floating in space?
-For a tooth, the center of resistance is different because it is tethered to bone and soft tissue at its root, and is generally located halfway between the alveolar crest and the root apex.
What is the center of rotation and how is it determined?
-The center of rotation is an unfixed point around which an object rotates. It is determined from the object's initial and final position during rotation.
What is a force couple in mechanics?
-A force couple refers to two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and non-collinear, creating pure rotation or a pure moment around the axis connecting the two forces.
How does the moment of a force affect tooth movement?
-The moment of a force, which is the tendency of a force to cause rotation, affects tooth movement by causing the tooth to rotate around its center of resistance. The further the force is applied from the center of resistance, the stronger the rotational tendency.
What is the ratio of the moment of a couple to the moment of a force in uncontrolled tipping?
-In uncontrolled tipping, the ratio of the moment of a couple to the moment of a force is equal to zero, meaning there is no couple and the tooth tips uncontrollably.
What is the concept of orthodontic anchorage?
-Orthodontic anchorage is the resistance to unwanted tooth movement, based on Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
How can anchorage be reinforced in orthodontic treatment?
-Anchorage can be reinforced by adding more teeth to the anchor unit, using extra oral forces like headgear, or employing skeletal anchorage devices such as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and bone plates.
What are the different types of tooth movement mentioned in the script?
-The different types of tooth movement mentioned include uncontrolled tipping, controlled tipping, bodily movement, root torque, and rotation.
Why is light force often preferred in orthodontic treatment?
-Light force is often preferred because it produces the desired tooth movement with fewer side effects, resulting in less Anchorage toll or unwanted tooth movement.

📐 Introduction to Biomechanics in Orthodontics
This paragraph introduces the concept of biomechanics in orthodontics, combining aspects of biology and mechanics. It explains the importance of understanding the center of resistance, which is a fixed point that a force must pass through to move an object in a straight line. The example of a free-floating object in space is used to illustrate how the center of resistance works, and how it differs when an object like a tooth is tethered to bone and soft tissue. The paragraph also distinguishes between the center of resistance and the center of rotation, emphasizing their roles in tooth movement.
🔧 Force and Moment in Orthodontic Tooth Movement
This paragraph delves into the application of force in orthodontics and how it affects tooth movement. It explains the concept of a force couple and its role in creating pure rotation, which is crucial in orthodontics. The paragraph also revisits the basics of force as a linear vector with magnitude and direction, and how forces are applied to teeth through push and pull systems. The concept of a moment, or the tendency of a force to cause rotation, is further elaborated, with an explanation of how it is calculated and its implications for tooth movement.
🦷 Types of Tooth Movement and Their Biomechanics
This paragraph discusses various types of tooth movement, such as tipping, translation, and root torque, and how they relate to biomechanical principles. It explains how different ratios of moment of couple to moment of force can result in different types of tooth movement. The paragraph provides examples of first, second, and third order couples and how they can be used to move teeth in desired directions. It also touches on the challenges of achieving certain types of tooth movements, like root torque, and the importance of understanding these mechanics for clinical application.
📈 Understanding Anchorage in Orthodontic Treatment
This paragraph introduces the concept of orthodontic anchorage, which is the resistance to unwanted tooth movement. It explains how Newton's third law applies to tooth movement, with every action having an equal and opposite reaction. The paragraph discusses the importance of managing anchorage to achieve desired tooth movements while minimizing unwanted ones. It also explores the concept of reinforced anchorage and the use of skeletal anchorage to tip the scales in favor of desired tooth movement. The paragraph concludes with a discussion on the application of anchorage in premolar extraction cases, highlighting different anchorage strategies.

Highlights
The video discusses the mechanical principles of tooth movement in orthodontics, focusing on the center of resistance and center of rotation.
The center of resistance is a fixed point that a force must pass through to move an object in a straight line.
For a tooth, the center of resistance is generally about halfway between the alveolar crest and the root apex.
The center of rotation is an unfixed point around which an object rotates, and it depends on where the force is applied.
A force couple creates pure rotation, which can be useful in orthodontics for tooth movement.
The magnitude of the moment of a couple is equal to the magnitude of one of the applied forces times the perpendicular distance between those two forces.
Orthodontic wires acting on brackets can generate different types of tooth movement through force couples.
Uncontrolled tipping occurs when the moment of the couple is equal to zero, resulting in the easiest but often undesirable tooth movement.
Controlled tipping involves a ratio between the moment of a couple and the moment of the force, where the crown moves in the desired direction and the root stays more or less in place.
Bodily movement requires a ratio of 1 between the moment of a couple and the moment of the force, resulting in the tooth moving as a whole without rotation.
Root torque is achieved when the moment of the couple is greater than the moment of the force, moving the root more than the crown.
Pure rotation involves spinning the tooth around its long axis, with the center of rotation at the center of resistance.
Orthodontic anchorage is defined as resistance to unwanted tooth movement and is based on Newton's third law.
Light force is often preferred in orthodontics as it produces less Anchorage toll and unwanted side effects.
Reciprocal anchorage occurs when equal and opposite tooth movements are experienced due to equal Anchorage values.
Reinforced anchorage can be achieved by adding more teeth to the anchor unit or using extraoral sources like headgear.
Skeletal anchorage involves using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) like bone screws and plates for more stable tooth movement.
Examples of using anchorage in treatment planning for premolar extraction cases are provided, with varying levels of anchorage demand.
