Vitamin C has shown to significantly increase the rate of change in orthodontics by enabling osteogenesis.
In an experiment performed on rats the tooth movement increased by at least 20% (3.61 case vs 2.96 control, they don't mention if there is already a distance beforehand.)
Osteoclast counts where almost 40% higher in the case group (onf 0.036p though since the standard dev was high).
Some of the references are also worth nothing.
It seems high vit c might induced copper definiancy could undo the positive effect so taking enough copper would probably be a good idea, especially if one is already supplementing zinc.
Also remember that Vitamin K induces osteoclast apoptosis. Since you actually want to change bone this doesn't help you much for moving teeth/bone and taking a lot of vit C should counteract the effect.
On a side note (since you're now running osteogenesis game anyway):
Permajutting (with the help of some device, for instance a mandibular advancement device used in sleep apnea treatment) actually induces remodelling of the condylars.
Again a rat study with bite-jumping devices:

Forward mandibular positioning enhances condylar adaptation in adult rats - PubMed
The aim of this investigation was to assess quantitatively the adaptive changes in the condyles of adult rats to forward mandibular positioning. The level of types II and X collagen expressed in the condyles of adult rats was compared with that formed in response to forward mandibular...
