Biomechanical effects of clear aligners with different distal coverage designs combined with Class II elastic traction for maxillary first molar distalization: a finite element study

Abstract Background The sequential distalization of teeth may affect the final efficacy of molar distalization in clear aligner treatment (CAT), necessitating additional anchorage protection for distalized posterior teeth. This study aimed to examine the anchorage protection effects of a distal unco...
