Optimization of Loading Condition for Maxillary Molar Intrusion with Midpalatal Miniscrews by Using Finite Element Analysis

An anterior open bite is one of the most difficult malocclusions in orthodontic treatment. For such malocclusion, orthodontic miniscrew insertion into both buccal and palatal alveolar regions has been indicated for molar intrusion, but it involves a risk of tooth root injury. To solve the problem, a...
