Effects of upper-molar distalization using clear aligners in combination with Class II elastics: a three-dimensional finite element analysis

Abstract Introduction The effects of upper-molar distalization using clear aligners in combination with Class II elastics for anchorage reinforcement have not been fully investigated yet. The objective of this study is to analyze the movement and stress of the whole dentition and further explore gui...
