SOLUTION Optimum orthodontic force is one, which moves teeth most rapidly in the desired direction, with the least possible damage to tissue and with minimum patient discomfort. Oppenheim and Schwarz following extensive studies stated that the optimum force is equivalent to the capillary pulse pressure, which is 20-26 gm/sq. cm of root surface area. From a clinical point of view, optimum orthodontic force has the following characteristics: From a histologic point of view the use of optimum orthodontic force has the following characteristics: 1) The vitality of the tooth and supporting periodontal ligament is maintained
1) Products rapid tooth movement
2) Minimal patient discomfort
3) The lag phase of tooth movement is minimal
4) No marked mobility of the teeth being moved
2) Initiates maximum cellular response
3) Produces direct or frontal resorption
