Comparison between lingual and labial orthodontics based on treatment of overbite by using rocking chair arch wire - A biomechanical study

ABSTRACT

Background Lingual orthodontics [LiO] has developed rapidly in recent years and research on treatment of overbite by using Rocking Chair Arch [RCA] wire of different curve depths is still limited, especially with 3-dimensional Finite Element [FE] models. The main objectives are to study the biomechanical differences in maxillary anterior teeth between lingual and labial orthodontics and observe the lingual mechanics on different inclinations of teeth
