Abstract The objective of this study was to devise an optimum force system to achieve en-masse retraction of six maxillary anterior teeth in lingual orthodontics (LiO). First, the set of equations was developed based on the mathematical computation to estimate optimum parameters of force system. Then, the computer software based on this mathematical computation was developed for the ease of estimation of force system. The verification of force system obtained with computer software was accomplished by three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). In FEA, it was clear that the desired en-masse retraction of six maxillary anterior teeth in LiO was achieved as… More >
