Effects of Twin Inclined Plane Device on Adaptation and Ultrastructure Variations in Condyle of Growing Rats

<div>Schematic presentation of the TIPD. (a) The TIPD consists of upper and lower planes covering the posterior teeth. <i>F</i> represents the total chewing force, <i>F</i>s represents the horizontal component of <i>F</i>, and <i>F</i>v represents the vertical component of <i>F</i>. (b) The lateral view of the lower jaw installing the TIPD. (c) The TIPD was fitted to the rat posterior teeth.</div>
