Efficacy of posterior teeth mesialization with invisalign in moderate anchorage cases
In moderate anchorage extraction cases, posterior mesialization with clear aligners showed limited predictability, particularly due to molar mesial tipping. The use of double rectangular attachments appeared to provide better control of crown angulation than single attachment or power arm. These findings may help inform digital treatment planning and attachment selection for extraction cases requiring controlled posterior movement.
