Maximum force values of tooth mobility measurements at 10.0 s loading duration. Mean maximum force values and standard deviations calculated from the tooth mobility measurements of the total patient collective (n = 10) at 10.0 s loading duration for all time points (T1-T5) investigated. Box plots represent the investigated subgroups and are compared to untreated controls. Group C - corrected teeth, whose position was actively modified with the positioner; Group N - uncorrected teeth adjacent to the ones of Group C; Group U - uncorrected teeth not adjacent to the ones from Group C. Statistically significant differences to controls were seen for Group C at T1 (P < 0.05)
