Biomechanical Analysis of Extraction Space Closure with Various Loop Springs Incorporated into an Archwire
The purpose of this study was to compare the mechanical efficacies of the various loop springs in the extraction space closure. The long-term movement of the teeth was simulated by the finite element method. It was assumed that the tooth moved in the same direction as the initial movement due to ela...
