Orthodontic procedures can be inconvenient in nature. To overcome this problem, accelerated orthodontics play a very important role to reduce existing trouble and discomfort. The most common inconvenience caused during orthodontic treatment procedures is that they are very time consuming which can result in several drawbacks, including an increased risk of tooth decay, gingival recession, and root resorption. Various methods can be employed to expedite orthodontic treatment by accelerating tooth movement, including surgical-assisted procedures, biological interventions, and the utilization of devices. These approaches effectively reduce the overall period of treatment. The purpose of this review is to study the effective techniques for orthodontic tooth movement as well as highlight various orthodontic accelerating methods in the respective approaches. Some non-surgical studies indicated that drug-induced methods can have a therapeutic effect on tooth movement. One of the approaches involves the local administration of Vitamin 1.25D, which has been found to expedite tooth movement. Vibrational orthodontic devices are a painless and cost-effective option that is considered the least invasive approach for accelerating tooth movement. Meanwhile, surgical approach is also a successful method, wherein great results and strong PDL tissue response were observed, but they cause a lot of pain and discomfort to the patient. Therefore, due to the strengths and limitations of each procedure covered in the study, more research should be done to identify the fastest way to speed up tooth mobility.
