Biomechanical effects of different staging and attachment designs in maxillary molar distalization with clear aligner: a finite element study

Abstract Background In the present study, the effects of distalizations of one and two molars with different step distances and attachment designs have been analyzed. Methods A 3D finite element analysis model has been developed in order to determine the tendency of tooth displacement and stress dis...
