Fig. 8From: A new method for the treatment of unilateral posterior cross-bite: a three-dimensional finite element stress analysis studyThe stressed areas on the tuber, zygomatic buttress, and pterygoid processes from the occlusal plane (above). The stress levels were declined in the medio-lateral direction both on the right and left maxillary sinus walls (below). The index is descending 0.1 points from 1.0 to 0.0 as 1.0-0.9-0.8-0.7-0.6-0.5-0.4-0.3-0.2-0.1. (Red to blue)Back to article page
