Abstract
The combination of an activator with a headgear is a common method
used to correct #hyperdivergent Class II #malocclusion, improving
skeletal and #dental relationship, distal displacement of the #maxilla,
and controlling vertical eruption and upper molars distalization. The
importance of studying three-dimensional effects of mechanical tension
on teeth, oral structures and #craniofacialcomplex, associated with the
use of these activators, is essential to ensure the success of clinical
treatments. Three-dimensional finite element method use in orthodontics
is gaining high acceptance from the researchers, particularly in the use
of #headgearactivators. This study presents a mini-review of literature
studies that use three-dimensional finite element method to investigate
three-dimensional effects of the mechanical tension originated by
highpull
headgear activators, on the treatment of hyperdivergentClass II
malocclusion, in the last decade.
