Abstract:Background
Desirable molar distalization by bodily movement is challenging and can be difficult to achieve. This study investigated changes in molar angulation (mesiodistal tipping), molar inclination (buccolingual torque) and rotation during distalization using clear aligner therapy (CAT).
Materials and methods
This retrospective study included 38 cone beam computed tomographic images (CBCTs) taken for patients treated with molar distalization usi… Show more
