Abstract (EN): Malocclusion problems frequently lead to dysfunctions in the jaw joint and alterations in the chewing, speech and breathing. Patients should be treated precociously for proper aesthetic improvements through bone remodeling and a better architecture of the dental arches. Techniques for correction require the installation of a mobile device in the mouth that, through the drive of a screw, imposes gradual displacements and forces a new balance position. It is aimed to reach a less traumatic application of forces, attenuating painful symptoms such as chronic headaches, bone partial necrosis and even loss of dental elements. This work seeks the quantification of the compression forces generated by these devices and a follow up of bone growth and remodeling. With this purpose, from the data obtained from in vivo experiments, the development of a biomechanical model of the dental movement including bone remodeling stimulation using finite element method is searched.
