Abstract
The present result suggests that the mechanical properties of dental thermoplastic materials varied due to environmental factors. Moreover, behavior change is influenced by molecular structure and orientation. The application of thermoplastic materials for orthodontic tooth movement requires a sufficient understanding of the material characteristics, optimal material selection, and design.
