The effect of aging cellular mechanisms on tooth movement. 1988

In summary, there appears to be indirect evidence that the dentoalveolar system undergoes a number of changes with age. These changes have the potential of affecting the biologic response of these tissues to the forces of tooth movement. They should not, however, create a barrier toward the successful completion of orthodontic therapy in most cases.
