Biomechanical analysis of total arch maxillary distalization using infrazygomatic crest miniscrews: a finite element analysis study.

Aim: To evaluate the maxillary incisors and canine's immediate movement tendency using three different power arms (PA) height levels during total arch maxillary distalization supported on infrazygomatic crest (IZC) miniscrews according to finite element analysis (FEA).

Methods: Three finite element models of the maxilla were developed based on CBCT imaging of a teenage male patient presenting a Class II Division 1 malocclusion in the early permanent dentition. Maxillary complex, periodontium, orthodontic accessories, IZC miniscrews and an orthodontic wire were digitally created.

Total arch maxillary distalization using infrazygomatic crest miniscrews in the treatment of Class II malocclusion: a prospective study.

Objectives: To evaluate treatment effects in Class II patients using infrazygomatic crest (IZC) miniscrews (MS).

Materials And Methods: A prospective sample of 25 adolescents (14 females and 11 males; mean age: 13.6 ± 1.

A prospective clinical trial of the effects produced by the extrusion arch in the treatment of anterior open bite.

Aim: To evaluate the maxillary dentition effects of the extrusion arch for anterior open bite (AOB) correction in mixed dentition patients.

Materials And Methods: Fourteen subjects with an initial mean age of 9.17 ± 1.
