Equivalent (von-Mises) stress (MPa) between the central and lateral incisor when the brackets are loaded. The orthodontic wire is hidden. A and C: All adjacent teeth were bonded at the contact areas. B and D: The adjacent teeth were simulated as frictionless contact. A and B reveal von Mises stress (MPa) on teeth; stress fringe values are shown on the right. C and D show von Mises stress (MPa) in alveolar bone; teeth are hidden.
