Alveolar cortical plate changes associated with incisor retraction and its influence on the limits of orthodontic tooth movement.

The maxillary and mandibular lingual cortical plates did not model to follow the incisor movement while the labial cortical plates did. These findings suggest that lingual cortical plates may act as limitations to planned orthodontic tooth movement.
