Effects of Attachment of Plastic Aligner in Closing of Diastema of Maxillary Dentition by Finite Element Method
The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of attachment on tooth movement produced by a plastic aligner. Closing of a diastema, in which the maxillary right and left central incisors moved bodily, was simulated using a finite element method. Long-term orthodontic movements of the maxillary den...
