Three-dimensional displacement of the posterior teeth. In color maps, the red color shows the maximum displacement areas, and the blue color shows the minimum displacement areas. Vector diagrams show initial displacement patterns of 2nd premolars, 1st molars, and 2nd molars. Histograms present the x-axis and y-axis displacement values (mm). The coordinate system was centered on each tooth (local coordinate system); the positive value for the x-axis represents the mesial surface of the teeth, and the positive value for the y-axis represents the palatal surface of the teeth
