An archwire doesn't move a tooth directly — it moves the periodontal ligament, and the ligament tells the bone what to do. This chapter follows that chain: from the fibrous tissue holding a tooth in its socket, to the pressure and tension it feels under load, to the cells and molecular signal that turn "squeezed" into "resorbed" and "stretched" into "built."
Learners & clinicians · Foundations & reference
Force systems, centers of resistance, anchorage, wire mechanics, and loop mechanics.
Learners & clinicians · Applied mechanics
Use differential end moments for space closure while controlling the vertical response at both teeth.
Clinicians & researchers · Applied mechanics
Compare loop height, position, wire, and gable bends at both teeth before engagement.
