  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper was to review the various medications that can influence the required orthodontic tooth movement. The circulation can carry molecules from medications and foods that patients regularly consume to mechanically stressed parenchymal tissues, where they can interact with nearby target cells. Mechanical forces, induced by orthodontic treatment, may have an inhibitory, additive, or synergistic effect when combined with one or more of these substances. The literature search led to several scientific works that were selected on the basis of their relevance in order to extract the data. The results found were presented according to each type of molecule that is mostly found in medical prescriptions. In conclusion, the dental displacement caused by orthodontic appliances may be as well compromised as favoured by the medication taken by the patient during his orthodontic treatment.
