Abstract: Bisphosphonates (BPs)effectively inhibit bone resorption, not only affect bone metabolism, but also have a certain effect on tooth movement in orthodontic treatment. Recent new studies have shown that BPs interfere with bone resorption of osteoclasts through different mechanisms, restrict the movement of anchorage teeth, reduce root resorption, and maintain the effect of rapid palatal expansion. Therefore, BPs can accelerate the press of bone reconstruction in craniofacial stretching, and prevent the infection induced by bone nail and the tooth loosening. This article summarizes new progress and prospect of BPs regarding to the mechanism and applicationt in orthodontic treatment.
