Revisão narrativa de modelos finitos em alinhadores
| Resumo: | Orthodontics is an area of dentistry that has expanded greatly in recent years. Clear aligners have become a highly requested option in orthodontic treatment due to their aesthetics and comfort, however, the predictability of tooth movement in invisible orthodontics has always been a concern. Over the last decades new advances in modern technology have introduced finite element analysis. Finite element analysis is described as a tool that allows clinicians to recognize beforehand the changes that surface during orthodontic treatment and that may potentially furthermore affect the tooth, alveolar bone, and the periodontium. The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate the role of the finite element model in orthodontics, and how the predictability of this computerized method has contributed to a higher success in clear aligner technologies. A bibliographic collection will be carried out in the search engines Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, SciELO, NCBI, and Springer Nature, of scientific articles published in the last 10 years in English, Portuguese, and Spanish with the keywords: “finite elements in invisalign”, “orthodontics”, “finite elements orthodontics”, “finite elements in clear aligners”. The clear aligner market has experienced significant growth in recent years, with more patients opting for an aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. However, the success of clear aligner treatment relies heavily on aligner design and dental tooth movement predictability. Literature suggests finite element analysis is a powerful tool for simulating and analyzing the mechanical behavior of materials and structures, allowing for virtual trial and error, while minimizing the need for extensive clinical adjustments. As this technology continues to evolve, it is important for professionals to stay informed and educated on the latest advancements. By embracing these advancements, we can further enhance the benefits of clear aligner treatments and continue to provide our patients with the highest level of care. |
