Orthodontic forces and moments of three-bracket geometries
In this study, we experimentally validated the hypothesis of Burstone and Koenig, showing that a three-bracket geometry can be simplified into two adjacent two-bracket geometries. The force system of 36 three-bracket geometries was determined, assisting clinicians with better anticipating previously unpredicted and undesirable movements, thereby improving treatment efficiency.
