Abstract:
The aim of this study was to quantify the stress induced in the periodontal ligaments by the orthodontic appliances. A finite element model of an orthodontic system, applied on a lower premolar, was developed in different loading conditions. The maximum stress values depend on the location, direction and the magnitude of force application.
