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

Figure 3

Mechanotransduction of the bone by the action of orthodontic forces. When the orthodontic forces produce the movement of the dental organ, on the side towards which these forces are directed, they cause the osteoclasts to activate, producing osteolysis of the bone. In the same way, on the opposite side, the osteoblasts are activated, producing bone osteogenesis.
