In orthodontics, the term for the first order moment is "Rotation." This refers to the movement of a tooth around its long axis. When a tooth rotates, it is essentially turning along its own axis without any tipping or translation.

Tipping (Option A) refers to the movement of a tooth in which the crown moves in one direction while the root moves in the opposite direction.

Translation (Option C) involves the bodily movement of a tooth in a linear direction, without any rotation or tipping.
