Comparison of the force systems of 3 appliances on palatally impacted canines
Introduction Although much imaging research has focused on the localization and the management of impacted canines, optimal biomechanics for successful recovery are not clear. The purpose of this research was…
Miniscrew implant-supported maxillary canine retraction with and without corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics
Introduction The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate miniscrew implant-supported maxillary canine retraction with corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics. Methods The sample consisted of 13 adult patients (5 men, 8 women;…
Patient with Pfeiffer’s syndrome treated by midfacial distraction and comprehensive orthodontics
Treatment for patients with craniofacial anomalies always presents a great challenge to orthodontists. Treatment usually requires both comprehensive orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. In this article, we report on a…
Evaluation of upper airway obstruction in Class II children with fluid-mechanical simulation
Introduction The purpose of this study was to test the null hypothesis that dolichofacial and brachyfacial children with Class II malocclusion do not differ in upper airway obstruction. Furthermore, the…
Foreign body ingestion of orthodontic origin
Foreign bodies in the ear, nose, and throat are commonly seen in family medicine, usually in children. Occasionally, orthodontic appliances or parts of orthodontic appliances are accidentally swallowed and have…
Comparative study of nasopharyngeal soft-tissue characteristics in patients with Class III malocclusion
Introduction The aims of our study were to assess nasopharyngeal soft-tissue characteristics in white patients with Class III malocclusion and to compare the results with patients with ideal occlusion. Methods…
Factors affecting demineralization during orthodontic treatment: A post-hoc analysis of RCT recruits
Introduction Our aim was to determine predictors for the presence and degree of demineralization during orthodontic treatment. This study was a post-hoc analysis of recruits for a randomized controlled trial….
Three-dimensional analysis of peri-bone–implant contact of rough-surface miniscrew implants
Introduction In this study, we evaluated the effects of surface modifications of miniscrew implants (MSIs) and force application on bone surrounding MSIs. Methods Seven skeletally mature male foxhound dogs were…
Effects of fluoride intake on orthodontic tooth movement and orthodontically induced root resorption
Introduction Even though the beneficial effects of fluoride on enamel and root caries have been well documented, limited data are available concerning the effect of fluoride on orthodontically induced root…
