Abstract

The emergence of this pain will have a major influence on the success of orthodontic treatment, given that the pain can reduce patient motivation in continuing treatment. Objective: to review the effect of orthodontic device movements on the pain caused and the factors that influence it. Method: Scientific evidence and clinical cases were drawn from the literature to support this review and information about pain perception during orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: The pain caused during orthodontic treatment is considered a normal condition because it is a biological event that is interrelated between the force exerted, local inflammation, the mechanism of action of orthodontic equipment on the teeth.
