Preface
As scientists and orthodontists investigating tooth movement, I would be telling an incomplete story in this book if I did not introduce our readers to another movement – the CTOR Movement. Several years ago, alongside a team of like-minded individuals, I started the Consortium for Translational Orthodontic Research (CTOR, www.orthodonticscientist.org), a center dedicated to translating bench and animal research into improved and innovative orthodontic therapies. This approach of performing basic science research that addresses specific clinical problems is the keystone of the CTOR Movement. Micro-osteoperforation (MOP) treatment, and the catabolic and anabolic effects described in this book, is the first successful result of this targeted research effort. Since MOP treatment was patented, the CTOR Movement gained momentum, as CTOR researchers are busy developing new orthodontic treatment approaches. In fact, CTOR now has 7 patents for innovations that will revolutionize orthodontic and craniofacial orthopedic treatment. These include products and methods to enhance alveolar bone healing and maintenance, expand the boundarie
