Optimal Position of Attachment for Removable

Thermoplastic Aligner on the Lower Canine

Using Finite Element Analysis
研究目的 Objective

• 利用三维有限元模型，模拟各种形状附件在不同的牙齿移动形式（伸长、压
入、旋转、控根），达到以下目的：
1 、得出每种牙齿移动形式的最佳附件形状；
2 、分析最佳形状的附件在每种牙齿移动形式中的最佳粘接位置。

• Simulate various shapes of attachments for each of the four orthodontic treatment
situations (extrusion, intrusion, rotation, and torque) using the FEA, to:
1. Derive the optimum shape of attachment for each situation,
2. Analyse the best position for attachments.
假设 hypotheses

• 圆形附件比方形附件和牙套的接触面积更大
• 附件位置更靠近牙根时，牙齿移动效率更高

• The contact area between the RTA and the attachment will be larger
when the round type is used than the square type,
• The movement of teeth will be more effective when the attachment
position is closer to the apical end.
