Finite Element Analysis in Orthodontics

Finite Element Method (FEM) is a computational modelling technique used in orthodontics to analyse and predict the mechanical behaviour of teeth, bone, and orthodontic appliances. It enables detailed assessment of stress, strain, and displacement under applied forces, offering insights into tooth movement and bone remodelling. FEM serves as a valuable tool in optimizing treatment plans, enhancing appliance design, and minimizing adverse effects, contributing to precision and efficiency in orthodontic care.
