This case report demonstrates the interdisciplinary treatment of an adult patient with a Class II malocclusion, convex profile, incompetent lips, gummy smile, and advanced periodontal loss. Initial periodontal-endodontic treatment was…
The editors of this volume are renowned authors, academicians, and practitioners. Dr Lee W. Graber served as past president of the American Association of Orthodontists and the World Federation of…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to use cone-beam computed tomography imaging to examine the skeletal and dental changes in the sagittal and vertical dimensions after rapid palatal expansion. Methods…
Introduction The aim of this prospective cohort study was to compute the clinical survival and complication rates of a miniplate with a tube device (C-tube) used for orthodontic treatment. Methods…
Introduction Our objectives were to evaluate the long-term posttreatment changes of orthodontically corrected mandibular anterior malalignment and to determine the factors explaining these changes. Methods The sample consisted of 66…
Okay, you are employed as an associate in any type of group practice you want to envision. One day, you are covering the office because the owner/orthodontist is away, and…
Introduction In this study, mechanical stress in the form of tooth movement was applied to osteoprotegerin-deficient knockout mice, which served as an animal model for juvenile Paget’s disease. To compare…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term stability of deep overbite correction with mandibular incisor intrusion with utility arches in adult patients. Methods Pretreatment, posttreatment, and…
Orthodontic extrusion with multidisciplinary treatment can provide predictable outcomes in selected situations, reducing the costs and the adaptation times of gingival tissues after implant integration. Forced orthodontic extrusion is strongly…
Introduction The muscles of mastication are important in positioning the mandible and can therefore affect the patency of the upper airway. The aim of this study was to determine whether…
Introduction The primary objective of this study was to assess the accuracy and the reliability of the SureSmile OraScanner (Orametrix, Richardson, Tex) by comparing it with other desktop 3-dimensional scanners:…

Introduction The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate mandibular rotation and angular remodeling in mouth-breathing children compared with nasal-breathing children. Methods The sample included 55 severely obstructed mouth-breathing…
Introduction This study was conducted to measure the dimensional changes in the cranial base and the mandible in patients with facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism, and to examine the morphologic…
Orthopedic prevention of asymmetry in unilateral temporomandibular joint arthritis Stoustrup P, Küseler A, Kristensen KD, Herlin T, Pedersen TK. Orthopaedic splint treatment can reduce mandibular asymmetry caused by unilateral temporomandibular…
In the last article, we demonstrated how to use multilevel linear or curvilinear models to analyze longitudinal orthodontic growth data. Because facial growth tends to accelerate during adolescence, fitting a…
As an archive of peer-reviewed research, the AJO-DO is committed to accepting and publishing investigations of the highest quality. The lowest quality of evidence consists of expert opinion, and the…
