Toward patient-specific prediction of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM): A Maxwell-based phenomenological approach

Key Points

• Orthodontic tooth movement can be predicted more accurately with a patient-specific approach.
• The methodology includes a phenomenological model based on Maxwell's equations for improved simulation.
• This approach integrates biomechanical factors to tailor orthodontic treatments for individuals.
• The findings suggest that enhanced predictions may lead to more effective orthodontic interventions.
