Group C exhibited the greatest molar distalization, with the first molar achieving 0.1334 mm of crown distalization. Group D demonstrated a notable buccal crown movement (0.0682 mm) and intrusion (0.0316 mm) of the first premolar. Compared to Groups A and B, Groups C and D showed less labial crown tipping of the central incisor. Group B showed the greatest amount of maxillary incisor intrusion (central incisor: 0.0145 mm, lateral incisor: 0.0094 mm). Moreover, Groups C and D displayed significantly lower levels of compressive and tensile stress in the roots and PDL of the maxillary central and lateral incisors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Molar distalization is a dynamic process involving sequential tooth movement stages; however, our research primarily examined the tooth movement patterns in the initial aligner.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions\/Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of miniscrew anchorage, especially direct palatal miniscrew anchorage, may enhance the treatment efficacy of maxillary molar distalization with clear aligners, leading to increased molar distalization, reduced mesial movement of premolars, and minimized labial tipping of anterior teeth.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ejo\/cjad077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]],"date-time":"2023-12-01T01:57:19Z","timestamp":1701395839000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Biomechanical analysis of miniscrew-assisted molar distalization with clear aligners: a three-dimensional finite element study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Runzhi","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang\u00a0Yao","family":"Lam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, the University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong SAR , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liwen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Medical Center, China-Japan Friendship Hospital , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiran","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology , Beijing , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2614-9159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yifan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, the University of Hong Kong , Hong Kong SAR , China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024011114312267200_CIT0001","first-page":"58","article-title":"Clear aligners in orthodontic treatment","volume-title":"Aust Dent J","author":"Weir","year":"2017"},{"key":"2024011114312267200_CIT0002","first-page":"12","article-title":"Maxillary molar distalization with aligners in adult patients: a multicenter retrospective study","volume-title":"Prog Orthod","author":"Ravera","year":"2016"},{"key":"2024011114312267200_CIT0003","first-page":"420","article-title":"Has Invisalign improved?
