Torque In Orthodontics

Torque refers to the rotational force applied to a tooth during the process of orthodontic treatment. It is a critical aspect of tooth movement and alignment. Torque is used to control the inclination or angulation of a tooth in the dental arch. Proper torque is essential for achieving optimal occlusion and a harmonious smile. Orthodontic treatment plans are highly individualized, and torque considerations play a significant role in achieving the desired outcomes. Advances in orthodontic technology and research continue to refine the understanding and application of torque in orthodontic practice.
