Forces, occurring as result of orthodontic appliances, present a guiding system which controls force activity during the growth and development of lower jaw. By qualitative photoelasticimetric analysis author decided to evaluate the influence of extension apparatus to the lower jaw. The concentration and stress distribution, intensity and force direction on contacts with insert (extensor device) were analysed on araldyte lower jaw models. Three different loadings 41.0, 57.4 and 73.8 N under four different loading conditions with and without the correction appliance were used. The results of investigation indicated that the force created by the orthodontic appliance is correct at the beginning. The change from surface contact to linear and punctual contact increased the static moment and local stress, resulting in new regional conditions.
