Comparative assessment of the efficacy of closed helical loop and T-loop for space closure in lingual orthodontics—a finite element study
Abstract Background Retraction in lingual orthodontics has biomechanical differences when compared to labial orthodontics, which is not yet established. Thus, we have intended to compare the biomechanical characteristics of closed helical loop and T-loop on 1 mm activation with 30° of compensatory c...
