Biomechanical effects of corticotomy facilitated orthodontic anterior retraction: a 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Varied corticotomy designs can change the biomechanical effects on dento-alveolar structures. The incision near the periphery of apical and bilateral incision combined with palatal incision may be the optimized design used for retraction of anterior teeth.
