Influence of periodontal ligament heights on sequential and simultaneous maxillary molar distalization using clear aligners
PDL height variations fundamentally influence molar distalization mechanics and anchorage stability, overshadowing the effects of distalization modes. Reduced PDL height intensifies stress imbalances and risks periodontal damage, underscoring the importance of personalized force management strategies in patients with compromised periodontal conditions.
