Introduction In this study, we aimed to compare the relapse of maxillary and mandibular anterior crowding, overjet, and overbite 5 years after treatment in subjects with Class I and Class…
In this article, we report the orthodontic treatment of a boy (age 12 years 9 months) who had a midface deficiency, a concave facial profile with maxillary retrusion, a complete crossbite (anterior…
Introduction The anterior cranial base has long been considered a stable reference structure for superimposing radiographs. However, some studies have questioned its stability. Therefore, the purposes of this systematic review…
Introduction Intraoral elastics are commonly used in orthodontics and require regular changing to be effective. Unfortunately, poor compliance with elastics is often encountered, especially in adolescents. Intention for an action…
Are mutations in parathyroid hormone receptor linked to undererupted molars associated with osteoarthritis? Frazier-Bowers SA, Hendricks HM, Wright JT, Lee J, Long K, Dibble CF, et al. Novel mutations in PTH1R…
Introduction Cone-beam computed tomography images have been previously used for evaluation of alveolar bone levels around teeth before, during, and after orthodontic treatment. Protocols described in the literature have been…
Treatment of an impacted maxillary central incisor poses a unique challenge to the orthodontist because of its position within the esthetic zone, requiring careful management of the soft tissues and…
Thank you for the opportunity to reply to Dr Rakhshan’s letter regarding the apparent statistical “issues and ambiguities” with our research. 1. The estimation of power for this study was…
Eric returns for his monthly adjustment, and his oral hygiene is just as poor as ever. As you retract his lips and observe the plaque accumulation that resembles yellow cottage…
I read with interest the article of Kandasamy et al (Kandasamy S, Boeddinghaus R, Kruger E. Condylar position assessed by magnetic resonance imaging after various bite position registrations. Am J Orthod…
Introduction The aim of this study was to use the finite element method to evaluate the distribution of stresses and strains on the local bone tissue adjacent to the miniplate…
A young man, age 18 years 4 months, with a concave profile, a skeletal maxillary deficiency, and a severe alveolar cleft with an unesthetic appearance of the maxillary anterior teeth was referred…
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate range of cortical bone thickness (CBT) for supporting an orthodontic microimplant. Methods Analysis of an orthodontic microimplant subjected to…
In a case-control study, a group of subjects from a specified study population who have the outcome of interest (the cases)—eg, patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain—is identified, and a…
Introduction It has been found that controlled movement of the anterior teeth can be obtained by attaching a certain length of power arm onto an archwire in sliding mechanics. However,…
Many of us worry about how to handle disparaging comments or posts made by disgruntled patients about us or our office on the Internet. Although there are many ways to…
Introduction The manufacturing process for copper-nickel-titanium archwires is technique sensitive. The primary aim of this investigation was to examine the interlot consistency of the mechanical properties of copper-nickel-titanium wires from…
Introduction A new, highly filled primer is currently marketed as a fluoride delivery system effective in reducing white spot lesions in orthodontic patients. However, no studies in the literature support…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the mandibular posterior anatomic limit for molar distalization. Methods Three-dimensional computed tomography scans were obtained on 34 adults with a skeletal…
