Biomechanical analysis on mandibular anterior teeth during unilateral mandibular molar Protraction with different movement patterns: a finite element analysis
Adverse effects on anterior teeth are inevitable during mandibular second molar protraction, regardless of the space closure technique employed. The traction hook produced minimal displacement overall. The anchorage screw with extended arm effectively reduced anterior teeth labial inclination while enhancing molar protraction, though careful attention to midline control is necessary.
