Biomechanical Effect of Orthodontic Treatment of Canine Retraction by Using Metallic Orthodontic Mini-Implant (OMI) Covered with Various Angles of Revolving Cap

Objective. This study evaluated the biomechanical effects of a metallic orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) covered with various types of angled revolving cap on the peri-OMI bone and the canine periodontal ligament (PDL) by finite element (FE) analyses. Materials and Methods. Three-dimensional FE models...
