ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the biomechanical effects of combined use of miniscrew and clear aligner in different kinds of loading condition on the en-mass retraction of maxillary anterior teeth.

Methods:

3 D finite element models of the maxillary bone with miniscrews and clear aligner were reconstructed using the method of reverse engineering with CBCT data of an adult patient who had maxillary first premolars extracted. The orthodontic force was loaded by (1) clear aligner, (2) clear aligner and 1. 47 N force of retraction at appliance and (3) clear aligner and 1. 47 N force of retraction at canine, respectively.

Results:

Under the working condition of (1), (2) and (3), in sagittal direction, the displacement difference of crown and root of the maxillary central incisor was 1. 12 E-02 mm, 1. 29 E-02 mm and 9. 62 E-03 mm respectively, the displacement of the first molar crown was-2. 49 E-02 mm, -2. 09 E-02 mm and-2. 00 E-02 mm respectively; in vertical direction, extrusion of the maxillary central incisor was 1. 77 E-03 mm, 2. 93 E-03 mm and 6. 53 E-04 mm respectively.

Conclusion:

The working condition (3) is more advantageous to control the torque of incisors and to save the anchorage of posterior teeth, and more effective to control the extrusion of the incisors.
