Micro-CT scanning and analysis. A Representative images after micro-CT scanning showing three-dimensional coronal view images (a 1-3), representative two-dimensional top view (b 1-3), and coronal view (c 1-3) images of the right maxillary molars from different groups. White arrow indicates the force direction. B Micro-CT analysis showing the distance (mm) between the 1st (M1) and 2nd (M2) molars as well as measurements of the of the microarchitecture parameters at the pressure and tension sites: distance between mesial root and ROI (mm), bone volume fraction (BV/TV; %), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th; mm), trabecular number (Tb.N; 1/mm), trabecular separation (Tb.SP; mm), and structure model index (SMI). Quantitative results are expressed as Mean ± SD (n = 6). Significant difference between groups is represented as (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001). Significant difference between pressure and tension sites is represented as (#P < 0.05, # #P < 0.01, and # # #P < 0.001). Significant difference between model side and self-control side in each group is represented as ($$$P < 0.001)
