Comparative Numerical Analysis between Two Types of Orthodontic Wire for the Lingual Technique, Using the Finite Element Method

Figure 24

Normal stresses in the axis (MPa). The graph shows a comparison between the stresses in the axis that were generated in each of the analyzed sections: complete system (mandibular bone, dental organs, brackets, and wires) and separately the mandible and the two different types of arches or wires.
