Influence of Different Preactivation Patterns and Aligner Materials on the Capability of Aligners to Induce Palatal Root Torque of Upper Incisors: An In Vitro Biomechanical Study
The addition of palatal-incisal pressure points alongside labial-cervical pressure points demonstrated a promising reduction in the initial offset range in an in vitro setting, potentially enhancing the efficiency of torque movement with aligners. However, further biomechanical and clinical studies are necessary for the clinical translation of these results.
