Highlights
The involvement of the endothelin signaling system during orthodontic tooth movement has not been explained yet
The aim of this study was to determine the role of endothelins ET-1, ET-2 and ET-3 and both receptor subtypes ETA and ETB during all the three phases of orthodontic tooth movement in a rat model
Orthodontic tooth movement was induced by a closed coil spring (F = 25 cN), which was placed between the upper left first molar and the upper incisors
