About this document

Forces and Moments Applied During Derotation of A Maxillary Central Incisor With Thinner Aligners - An In-Vitro Study by Estefania Montoya is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses a study that measured forces and moments applied during tooth derotation with thinner dental aligners. The study found thinner 0.3mm and 0.4mm aligners generated significantly lower moments during derotation than the standard 0.5mm aligners. The study suggests using a sequence of 0.4mm, 0.5mm, and 0.75mm aligners per treatment step to provide low initial stiffness and gradual force increases.
