Finite element analysis of archwire parameters and activation forces on the M/F ratio of vertical, L- and T-loops
Abstract Background The ability of a loop to generate a certain moment/force ratio (M/F ratio) can achieve the desired tooth movement in orthodontics. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of elastic modulus, cross-sectional dimensions, loop configuration geometry dimensions, and activa...
