CSChandani ShahPBPuneet BatraNVNikhillesh Vaiid

Key Points

  • The aim is to determine how attachment configuration affects the efficiency of anterior teeth intrusion during clear aligner therapy.
  • Utilized finite element analysis to assess different attachment configurations and their effects on force transmission and load distribution.
  • Analyzed the impact of canine anchorage on biomechanical stability.
  • Comprehensive anterior attachments improved force transmission significantly.
  • Physiologic canine anchorage provided better load distribution, enhancing overall stability.

Abstract

Attachment configuration and anchorage control substantially influence biomechanical efficiency during aligner-mediated anterior intrusion. Comprehensive anterior attachments maximize force transmission, while physiologic canine anchorage enhances load distribution and biomechanical stability. These findings provide biomechanical guidance for optimizing aligner protocols in deep-bite correction.
