Alveolar bone remodeling following orthodontic closure of missing mandibular first molar spaces: a CBCT-based morphometric study
Orthodontic closure of mandibular first molar spaces promotes alveolar bone remodeling, including improvements in angulation, bone height, width, and volume. This approach offers a biologically advantageous alternative for managing molar loss, enhancing both function and long-term periodontal support.
