Evaluation of Initial Stress Distribution and Displacement Pattern of Craniofacial Structures with 3 Different Rapid Maxillary Expansion Appliance Models: A 3-dimensional Finite Element Analysis

Objective: This study aimed to describe the displacement of anatomical structures and the stress distributions caused by the Hyrax, fan-type, and double-hinged expansion screws via the 3-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM).Methods: The 3D FEM was based on the computed tomography data of a 1...
