Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical effects of the incisor movement in three different types of traction by the miniscrew implants as an anchorage using 2D finite element method (FEM). The FEM model was made by tracing the maxilla including tooth, the wire, and the bracket. Three different types of hooks were set up in the model. We suggested that controlled incisor retraction is possible by changing the length and the position of the hooks soldered to the archwire when using miniscrew implants.
