Effect of multiple hook heights and positions during en masse maxillary distalization using infrazygomatic crest miniscrew– single and double points of force application: a finite element analysis study

Abstract Background This study aimed to simulate maxillary dentition distalization as one unit anchored to infrazygomatic crest (IZC) miniscrew using different hook positions and lengths. Materials and methods Eleven finite-element models (FEM) were constructed from a cone beam computed tomography s...
