Simulation of an Orthodontic System Using the Lingual Technique Based on the Finite Element Method by Abbas Hazem, Felicia Ileana Mărășescu, Mihaela Jana Țuculină, Dragoș Laurențiu Popa, Ionuț Daniel Geonea, Alexandru Iliescu, Petre Mărășescu, Ioan Ovidiu Gheorghe, Alma Roxana Pitru, Eugen Nicolae Tieranu, Ionela Teodora Dascălu

“…<b>Results:</b> The study reveals that although the deformation of the archwires during orthodontic treatment is the same, the forces generated by the three types of archwires on brackets differ. The variation in forces applied to the brackets in the fixed lingual orthodontic technique is essential for customizing orthodontic treatment, as these forces must be precisely controlled to ensure effective tooth movement and prevent overloading of the dental structures. …”
