About
Dr. Gabriel Miranda is a leading researcher in orthodontic biomechanics, with a particular focus on the mechanical behavior of clear aligner therapy. His work bridges the gap between clinical orthodontics and biomedical engineering, investigating how forces and moments are transmitted to teeth during treatment. In his highly cited 2023 study, "Forces and moments generated during extrusion of a maxillary central incisor with clear aligners," Dr. Miranda pioneered an in vitro methodology to assess tooth movement using both thermoformed and 3D-printed aligners. He demonstrated that buccal and lingual pressure columns can effectively extrude a maxillary central incisor without traditional attachments, providing critical insights into aligner design and force delivery. This work, which has already garnered 29 citations, has significant implications for optimizing treatment efficiency and predictability in clear aligner orthodontics. Dr. Miranda’s research is widely referenced by clinicians and material scientists seeking to improve aligner mechanics, and his findings are shaping the next generation of digital orthodontic treatment planning.
