Abstract

Photoelastic stress analysis by means of simulated load application on model structures was used to visualize the forces that are induced within the supporting bone structures during various tooth movements. A comprehensive picture of the stress patterns produced by these forces, in addition to the degree of stress distribution, was obtained. The results of this study are relevant to the basic tooth movement procedutes that are used by the clinician in general practice.
