M/F Changes after T-loop Upper Horizontal Bending in Segmented Arch Mechanics

bTi T-type loops are a frictionless, efficient alternative for extraction space closure. Changes in the upper horizontal portion of T-type loops to improve their mechanical behavior have been proposed, but differences in their biomechanical characteristics have not been well described. This stu dy a...
