Biomechanical Impact of High Trimline Aligners on Mandibular Molar Distalization

Posted: December 24, 2024
The study investigated the impact of high trimline aligners on distalizing mandibular molars using 3D-FEA, emphasizing tooth movement, stress distribution, and anchorage control. High trimline aligners were found to be more effective in facilitating molar movement and managing stress compared to scalloped trimlines, especially with Class III traction. While high trimline aligners improved anchorage stability, concerns were raised about potential root resorption due to excessive stress on anterior teeth. The research highlights the importance of aligner design and traction application in optimizing orthodontic outcomes and the need for vigilant patient monitoring to prevent adverse effects.
