Abstract: Lingual orthodontics has many therapeutic odvantages over labial orthodontics, however, its biomechanical mechanism is inadequately understood. In recent years, many researchers set up finite element models of lingual appliance and studied the biomechanics of lingual orthodontics. This paper is a review about the application of 3-dimensional finite element method in lingual orthodontics.
