Bone tissue is continually undergoing change. The evolving architectural arrangement of the trabeculae, the interlacing meshwork that makes up the cancellous bone framework, is directly related to the demands of function. Bone apposition (growth) and resorption are related to functional demands. Orthodontic corrective forces involve placement of pressure-causing appliances to correct malocclusion.
