Biomechanical analysis of miniscrew-assisted molar distalization with clear aligners: a three-dimensional finite element study

CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The use of miniscrew anchorage, especially direct palatal miniscrew anchorage, may enhance the treatment efficacy of maxillary molar distalization with clear aligners, leading to increased molar distalization, reduced mesial movement of premolars, and minimized labial tipping of anterior teeth.PMID:38134411 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad077
