One treatment option is the mesialization of the second and third molars. This study aimed to investigate the displacement and type of movement in the second molar during mandibular second molar mesialization with clear aligner treatment using finite element analysis in configurations with or without ...
Treatment was completed in just under 12聽months, with successful mesial movement of the maxillary second and third molars without the need for the bonding of orthodontic brackets on the anterior dentition. The result was determined to be stable over a 3-year period....
BackgroundThe biomechanics generated by the clear aligner (CA) material changes continuously during orthodontic tooth movement, but this factor remains unknown during the computer-aid design process and the predictability of molars movement is not as expected. Therefore, the purpose of this study was ...
On the contrary, there was statistically higher ABL, at the mesial sites of mesialized versus non-mesialized molars (p=0.042; median 0.19mm; range 0.82, 1.33); though the difference was not clinically relevant. In the space closure side, mesially, only two patients had ABL higher that 1mm...
