Influence of Orthodontic Movement by Bracketless Orthodontic Treatment on Stress Distribution: 3D Finite Element Analysis

“…It is important to note that the BOT in the occlusal posterior teeth is an alternative technique for resolving desired tooth movements (Tavares et al, 2019;. However, adequate isolation of fluids and great collaboration from patients are required from the bonding procedure until each reactivation of the device (Mariniello and Cozzolino 2008).…”

“…Therefore, the BOT technique includes several advantages such as: (1) Absolute control of protrusion/lingualization by measuring the wires used and previously dimensioned in the prototyped models; (2) Control of the arch shape and the planned expansion; (3) Control of established vertical and anteroposterior movements, also by printed prototypes; (4) It allows the orthodontist to know all the necessary movements established in the planning in advance in degrees and millimeters; (5) It enables previous construction of the arches, minimizing the chair time and establishing a relationship of trust with the patient when all the movements to be performed are demonstrated through a physical model, helping the orthodontist to establish the total treatment time more accurately; (6) It does not interfere in the diction/phonetics of patients and with little interference in hygiene; (7) It is imperceptible (aesthetic) and comfortable; (8) It is fast and efficient; (9) It does not depend on the patient's collaboration because it is a fixed technique; (10) It is a self-ligating technique, straight-wire which allows it to slide when necessary. In addition, it is possible to be used in different clinical cases Tavares et al, 2019).…”
