Biomechanics and force system of butterfly arch: A device for three-dimensional controlling of upper molars
نویسنده
چکیده
There are numerous intra-oral appliances that are used for many purposes in orthodontic practice. Some popular instances include those for anchorage preservation, distalizing plates, and expansion appliances. In maximum anchorage extraction cases, which are serious challenges for orthodontists, none of intra-oral devices can preserve the anchorage precisely. Butterfly arch with its unique design, configuration, and biomechanical properties is introduced here as a device that could enhance the posterior anchorage meticulously. In addition, there are several advantages mentioned here to present the importance of the appliance to preserve the vertical and transverse dimensions as well.

Butterfly Arch: A Device for Precise Controlling of the Upper Molars in Three Planes of Space
Intra-oral appliances such as transpalatal arch and Nance appliance fail to resist against forces that tend to loosen the anchorage. The infirmity arises due to the long lever arm and the mesial force that is perpendicular to the long axis of the appliance. The butterfly arch is presented here as an intra-oral appliance that withstands the mesially directed forces with a mechanism that puts str...
متن کاملAnalysis of a force system for upper molar distalization using a trans-palatal arch and mini-implant: a finite element analysis study.
The purpose of this study was to analyse distal movements of molars in a force system using a trans-palatal arch (TPA), fixed to the maxillary first molar, and mini-implants placed at the palatal midline, considering the diagnostic standard for placement site in association with variation in upper molar locations, using finite element (FE) analysis. Three-dimensional FE models, divided by the d...

متن کاملUse of palatally inserted mini-screw for upper molar distalization: A case series
Abstract Reports have shown that molars can be distalized successfully with virtually no orthodontic anchorage loss with an intraosseous anchorage, even with fully erupted second molars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the effects of mini-screws as skeletal anchorage for upper molar distalization. In this case series, three patients needing maxillary first molar distalization,...
