Effects of upper arch expansion using clear aligners on different stride and torque: a three-dimensional finite element analysis

Abstract Background During maxillary arch expansion with a clear aligner (CA), buccal tipping of the posterior teeth often occurs, resulting in an unsatisfactory arch expansion effect. The aim of this study was to analyze the appropriate maxillary arch expansion stride length and torque compensation...
