ABSTRACT 

The  prevalence  of  malocclusion  and  the  need  for  orthodontic  treatment  in  Indonesia  is  relatively  very  high. Orthodontic  treatment  that  transmits  mechanical  forces  to  the  periodontal  ligament  and  alveolar  bone cells can stimulate the periodontal ligament  and alveolar bone remodeling. While this time, orthodontic treatment requiresa long  time,resulting  inseveral  adverse  effects  and  discomfort.  For  this  reason,  a  method  that  can  accelerate orthodontic  treatment  is  needed  which  aims  to  increase  stability after  active  orthodontic  treatment,to  reduce  the potential for relapse,and to accelerate retention time. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) stimulation is one of the methods  that  have  this  goal.This  aim  to  study  the  stimulation  mechanism  ofPEMF on  the  osteogenesis  process  of orthodontic tooth movement.Alveolar bone remodeling played an essential role in orthodontic tooth movement, is an active and dynamic process. The dynamic process depends on a balance between resorption and bone formation (osteogenesis). PEMF stimulation  is  a  nonsurgical  method  that  can  promote  osteogenesis through  activation  of  Wnt signaling. Several studies showed that this method could accelerateretention time and orthodontic treatment.PEMF stimulated osteogenesis through activation of Wnt signaling in orthodontic tooth movement.
