Finite Element Analysis of Fixed Orthodontic Retainers. [PDF]
Bioengineering (Basel)The efficacy of retainers is a pivotal concern in orthodontic care. This study examined the biomechanical behaviour of retainers, particularly the influence of retainer stiffness and tooth resilience on force transmission and stress distribution. To do this, a finite element model was created of the lower jaw from the left to the right canine with a ...
