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 tiltmeter, is a type of instrument used to detect any kind of tilt in the structure to which it is attached. Most tiltmeters use an air bubble in a liquid-filled tube, much like a typical carpenter's level, but are equipped with sensitive electronics that can detect even the tiniest change in tilt. They either sound an alarm or transmit the data to a remote monitor or other device.
