Optimum pure intrusion of a mandibular canine with the segmented arch in lingual orthodontics.
TLDR
An optimum toe (Θ) of the vertical segment of a cantilever from the distal aspect is specified to achieve pure intrusion of a mandibular canine with the segmented arch in lingual orthodontics (LiO).Abstract:
Background Approximately 50% patients with a deep bite possess anatomically extruded mandibular canines Objective The objective of this study was to specify an optimum toe (Θ) of the vertical segment of a cantilever from the distal aspect to achieve pure intrusion of a mandibular canine with the segmented arch in lingual orthodontics (LiO) Methods The geometrical model of a mandibular canine was developed to compute the required values of Θ (positive values - toe-in, negative values - toe-out) Different positions of the cantilever attachment on the lingual bracket top (occlusal) surface were considered according to different heights (h) from the cusp of a canine ie 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm in each case of horizontal distance (x) from canine surface ie 2 and 3 mm In x=2mm case, the required values of Θ at h=2,3,4 and 5mm were -5°, 0°, +6° and +11° respectively While, in x=3mm case, the required values of Θ at h=2,3,4 and 5mm were 0°, +5°, +12° and +17° respectively Results In finite element analysis (FEA), the computed values of Θ were verified by displaying the results of a mandibular canine movement in the form of vectors of nodal displacements along with undeformed and deformed models Conclusions In the cases of x=2mm and 3mm, no toe angles were required at heights h=3mm and 2mm respectively Hence, these can be considered as better positions of the cantilever attachment than othersread more

TL;DR: Clinicians may consider three-piece arch mechanics to achieve pure MI intrusion, however, they must be aware that when force was applied anteriorly or posteriorly to the ideal PFA, the incisors would incline labially or lingually, respectively.

Cantilevers: Multi-Tool in Orthodontic Treatment
TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss and illustrate various uses of cantilevers to solve multiple clinical issues and prove their versatility, and highlight the clear benefits of using cantilever use in complex corrections of single teeth, segments, and entire arch with a diminished effect on the dentition, also with the use of skeletal anchorage.

Computation of optimum parameters to achieve the intrusion of mandibular central incisor and mandibular canine for deep bite treatment
TL;DR: The aim of the present research study is to specify accurate tilt (toe) angles in lingual orthodontics (LiO) required for intrusion of theMandibular central incisor and mandibular canine tooth for different positions from respective occlusal plane and to state comparative assessment of required tilt angles for both the teeth.

Estimation of the maximum permissible intrusive force for intrusion of a canine tooth: one-dimensional finite element study
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum permissible intrusions of a canine tooth without any damage to the periodontal ligament (PDL) was computed using finite element analysis. And the authors proved that the 10g-force (gf) value is safe without any damaging to PDL tissues.

Torque control of the maxillary incisors in lingual and labial orthodontics: a 3-dimensional finite element analysis.
TL;DR: Lingual Orthodontics should not simply follow the clinical experience of the labial techniques but should increase lingual root torque, increase vertical intrusive force, and decrease horizontal retraction force properly to achieve the best orthodontic results.
