ABSTRACT
The connection between physical phenomena and organic reactions, in addition to knowledge of the material properties, is essential to get the expected results from the treatment.
One of the techniques for correction of this pathology requires the installation of a mobile device in the mouth that leads to bone remodeling through bone resorption area and deposition of neoformed bone tissue (Proffit, 1995). It is necessary to use a methodology that correlates the imposed displacement with the bone structure deformation, cortical as well as trabecular bone, and the impact absorption by the mucosa, quantifying the level of forces and stresses reached. The purpose is to arrive at a less traumatic application
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Malocclusions
Orthodontics tries to achieve occlusal equilibrium and the functionality of the stomatognathic system: bones, teeth, periodontal ligament, tongue, temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and other oral biological structures, that can suffer from disturbances during growth. When this equilibrium is not reached, morphological changes, known as malocclusions, can occur.
