Effect of increasing the vertical intrusive force to obtain torque control in lingual orthodontics: A three-dimensional finite element method study

Conclusion: Forces that produce a translation in LaO tends to produce uncontrolled tipping in lingual technique. To obtain adequate torque control in lingual technique, a combination of the reduction in horizontal retraction forces, increased lingual root torque application, and increase in vertical intrusive forces is desirable.
