Impact of Osteotomy in Surgically Assisted Rapid Maxillary Expansion Using Tooth-Borne Appliance on the Formation of Stresses and Displacement Patterns in the Facial Skeleton—A Study Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

The analysis aimed at studying stresses reduced according to Huber’s hypothesis and displacement patterns at selected sites of the facial skeleton using a tooth-borne appliance in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Five different variants of osteotomy of the midface and a variant without...
