What is FEM Study on Orthodontic Loop Angulations about?

This study used finite element modeling to evaluate the effects of different angulations (α and β angles) in three types of stainless steel retraction loops (tear drop loop, T-loop, open vertical loop) during space closure. The models showed that increasing the angulations resulted in greater intrusive/extrusive tooth movements and crown/root tip displacements horizontally. Of the three loops, the tear drop loop with 10-20 degree α-β combination produced the most desirable effects for group A anchorage duri
