The amount of force required to The amount of force required to move the teeth is in positive ratio to move the teeth is in positive ratio to the surface area of the tooth root, the surface area of the tooth root, attached to the periodontiumattached to the periodontium

The ratio of the area of contact in the The ratio of the area of contact in the canine : molar is appox. 3:8 (Storey canine : molar is appox. 3:8 (Storey and Smith )and Smith )
