Abstract
A simplified mechanics model of aligner-tooth interaction was developed to establish a precise computational method for overcorrection design in clear aligner orthodontics. Validated through finite element analysis and experiments, the results demonstrated that designing the movement of only the target teeth on the aligner leads to uneven force distribution on adjacent teeth, while an overcorrection design can evenly distribute the reaction force generated by pushing the target teeth to the anchorage teeth, reducing the maximum force on the anchorage teeth, minimizing unplanned tooth movement, and improving the efficacy of the designed tooth movement for all teeth.
