Apical root resorption in Class III patients following pronounced mandibular incisor retraction with lingual high precision fixed appliances: a retrospective cohort study
Extensive bodily retraction of lower anterior teeth was not associated with significant OIARR in this Class III cohort. Excellent torque control using HPFAs enabled considerable retraction with low risk of OIARR, supporting this approach as a safe nonsurgical alternative for Class III camouflage.
