The Mechanics of Maxillary Molar Distal Movement Using Class II Carriere Motion Appliance: A Finite Element Study

To clarify the mechanics of tooth movement produced by a unique distalizer, Class II Carriere Motion appliance (CMA), in which the maxillary canine is connected to the maxillary first molar with a stiff bar, long-term tooth movement was simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The FEM models of...
