Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop a 3D computer model of the movement of a maxillary incisor tooth when subjected to an orthodontic load. A novel method was to be developed to directly and accurately measure orthodontic tooth movement in a group of human volunteers. This was to be used to validate the finite element-based computer model.Keywords
