Background:
This study used finite element modeling to investigate stress distribution patterns during treatment with Advan Sync 2 Class II correctors.
Methods:
- A 3-D finite element model of the skull was constructed from images obtained from cone-beam computerized tomography images. Surface data of the AdvanSync2, brackets and archwires were derived and used to construct 3-D models. Stress distribution patterns and variations were assessed and quantified during appliance simulation and after advancement by 4 mm using spacers, on the finite element model.
Results:
Stress levels were recorded in Megapascals (MPa) and were visualized with a color scale. Maximum stress was evident in the mandible near the neck of condyle, anterior part of ramus and medial part of the coronoid process. Maxillary and mandibular teeth experienced negligible stress. Stress levels increased on advancing the appliance with spacers, though the regions and patterns of stress concentration in the maxilla and mandible remained constant to a great extent.
Conclusion:
The AdvanSync2 is an appropriate fixed functional appliance to correct Class II malocclusions with a retrognathic mandible, as it does not apply unnecessary and deleterious stresses on the maxillary and mandibular teeth.
