Delayed tooth eruption represents one of the most complex clinical challenges in orthodontics, as it significantly complicates treatment planning, increases treatment duration, and raises the risk of complications. In patients with impacted teeth, pathological changes in the periodontium are often observed, including dental arch displacement, root resorption of adjacent teeth, as well as pronounced aesthetic and psychological problems, especially during adolescence. In this regard, optimizing and accelerating orthodontic tooth movement in cases of impaired eruption is of great importance for both clinical practice and scientific research. When selecting treatment methods, the key criteria remain safety, biological compatibility, and proven effectiveness. The most effective approach is considered to be an individualized strategy that takes into account the morphological characteristics of bone tissue, type of impaction, patient age, comorbidities, and interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists. Thus, modern orthodontics is focused not only on eliminating mechanical obstacles to tooth eruption but also on actively stimulating the physiological processes of tooth movement in order to achieve faster, more stable, and aesthetically acceptable outcomes. To analyze scientific literature data on the effectiveness of modern methods for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement in cases of delayed tooth eruption. A systematic review of scientific publications was conducted using the Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases over the past 15 years. The selection of sources was based on their relevance and scientific significance. Modern technologies aimed at accelerating orthodontic tooth movement in cases of eruption disturbances can significantly reduce treatment time and decrease the risk of complications. The best clinical outcomes are achieved through the combined use of surgical, pharmacological, and biostimulatory methods, including laser therapy, photobiomodulation, and vibration-based techniques, within a personalized treatment approach.
