How does arch form and interproximal contact size affect the 3D displacements and rotations of teeth: a finite element analysis
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to determine how arch form and interproximal contact size displace mandibular teeth subjected to an anterior component of force (ACF). Methods: Nine finite element models (FEM) of the mandibular arch were developed using Ansys® v. 16.0 software....
