The effect of maxillary premolar distalization with different designed clear aligners: a 4D finite element study with staging simulation
The four-dimensional mechanical simulation results indicate that during the process of premolar distalization with CA, removing the distal portion of the aligner covering the first and second molars (MHW group) can effectively reduce the mesial movement of molars. Consequently, this approach can increase the overall efficiency of molar distalization.
