| Research Abstract |
In orthodontics, teeth are moved to the normal position by applying forces and moments to the teeth. The purpose of this study is to simulate the long-term tooth movement produced by orthodontic appliances. Prediction of the orthodontic tooth movement will be helpful for clinical treatment planning. However, methods for simulating the long-term tooth movement have not been established till now. In this study, a new simulation method was developed by using a general-purpose finite element method.
