Introduction Understanding age-related changes in normal dental occlusion is crucial for orthodontic treatment, planning, and retention, especially considering the increasing demand from adult patients. This review aimed to systematically perform…
Through experience teaching and interacting with orthodontic residents, we have noticed that attitudes toward organized dentistry in general and the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) in particular have changed over…
Summary Clear aligner therapy has become a common treatment modality within the orthodontic practice. Cases ranging from simple Class I malocclusion to complex Class II and Class III malocclusions, with…
Summary For orthodontic treatments of teens, the same fundamental considerations apply whether the treatment is performed with aligners or with fixed appliances. However, the planning of teen cases with aligners,…
Abstract The replacement of missing posterior teeth is not always successful but may contribute to improved chewing ability. This case will build on the experiences gained in Case Guide 1…
Case Guide 1 The Acrylic-Based RPD Replacing Anterior Teeth Abstract The replacement of lost teeth in the anterior region of the dentition is a common request from patients. They are…
Introduction Orthodontic treatment can help improve facial attractiveness through the modification of factors affecting the soft tissue profile. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of different…
Introduction Uprighting mesially tipped molars is often a necessary step before implant placement. However, the orthodontic treatment can be lengthy and discourage patients from choosing implant prostheses. Periodontally accelerated osteogenic…
Introduction Computer-aided design and manufacturing of orthodontic retainers from digitally debonded models can be used to facilitate same-day delivery. The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to validate a…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Invisalign’s (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) optimized and conventional attachments on rotational and extrusive tooth movements. Methods Initial, predicted,…
This case report describes the treatment of a 29-year-old woman with facial asymmetry and 2 hopeless teeth. Her lower dental midline was shifted to the left side, and the mandibular…
Introduction This study aimed to simulate the different positions of the hyrax appliance expander screw and evaluate tooth displacement and the stress distribution standard on the periodontal ligament using the…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in preference between orthodontists and laypeople, judging soft tissue digital alterations of a Class II Division 1 profile of…
Introduction This study aimed to identify the tooth movement patterns relative to various force angulations (FAs) when distalizing the total maxillary dentition. Methods Long-term orthodontic movement of the maxillary dentition…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate short and long-term results of the application of the alternate rapid maxillary expansion/constriction (Alt-RAMEC) technique in patients with skeletal Class III…
Introduction Previous studies have shown that patients with cleft lip and/or palate may be stigmatized in society. The objective of this study was to use an implicit association test to…
Introduction As a powerful numerical approximation tool, finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to predict stress and strain distributions in facial bones generated by orthodontic appliances. Previous FEA…
Introduction The goal of this research was to experimentally evaluate the surface morphology and adhesion capacity of Streptococcus mutans (U159) on brackets with thin films of titanium nitride (TN) and…
Introduction Although many attempts have been made to study the mechanical behavior of closing loops, most have been limited to analyses of the magnitude of forces and moments acting on…
