Biomechanical Insights into Orthodontic Treatment for Curve of Spee Malocclusion

Posted: January 1, 2025
The article compared labial and lingual fixed orthodontic treatment options for correcting curve of Spee malocclusion using an electromechanical simulator. Different archwire forms were analyzed, showing significant biomechanical differences in forces and moments generated. Labial straight archwires exerted the lowest forces, while lingual archwires led to variable first premolar inclination during treatment. This study sheds light on optimizing orthodontic approaches for curve of Spee misalignments.
