The purposes of this study were to determine by direct measurement the effects that acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen have on orthodontic tooth movement in rats and to evaluate histologically the differences in bone resorption in the pressure area in rats treated with these analgesics.ooth movement was similar in the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics such as aspirin and ibuprofen diminish the number of osteoclasts, probably by inhibiting the secretion of prostaglandins, thereby reducing orthodontic tooth movement.

A spectrophotometer is an instrument that can pass light of a single wavelength through a solution and measure the amount that passes through.

Then, the same wavelength of light is passed through the solution.
