One of the most challenging problems for orthodontists is that of multiple missing maxillary teeth in a growing patient. In many patients, a good treatment option is autotransplantation. This case…
The use of fixed retainers at the end of a course of orthodontic treatment has become standard practice. The main complication that can occur with fixed retainers is the detachment…
Missing participant outcome data (MOD) are ubiquitous in clinical trials and may threaten the validity of the results. The risk of bias associated with MOD is carried over to the…
I know I’m gonna start some fights here, so let’s get to it. When you obtain a patient’s informed consent, does it have to be in writing? Apparently not in…
Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies are profoundly changing the landscape of orthodontics. To optimize treatment-oriented applications, dimensional fidelity is required for 3D-printed orthodontic models. This study aimed to evaluate the…
Introduction Extreme patterns of vertical facial divergence are of great importance to clinicians because of their association with dental malocclusion and functional problems of the orofacial complex. Understanding the growth…
Introduction The center of resistance (C Res ) is regarded as the fundamental reference point for predictable tooth movement. Accurate estimation can greatly enhance the efficiency of orthodontic tooth movement….
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the incidence and recovery of neurosensory deficit (NSD) after LeFort I osteotomy over 12 months and identify any association between age, gender, and extent of…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the forces and moments exerted by orthodontic aligners on 3 different displaced maxillary teeth and their adjacent supporting teeth. Methods An…
Introduction The objective of this research was to study the factors associated with the alveolar bone depth mesial to the mandibular third molars (M8) after the mandibular second (M7) and…
Introduction This study aimed to analyze adults with mandibular characteristics of skeletal Class II malocclusion with chin deviation. Methods Seventy-five adult patients aged from 18 to 35 years were included and…
Introduction The aim of this prospective study was to assess the 3-dimensional skeletal and dental effects induced by a new maxillary protraction approach using customized miniplates for anchorage compared with…
Introduction With more dentists performing orthodontics, identifying and managing patients at risk or affected by orthodontically-induced external root resorption (OIERR) is paramount. Methods This study, conducted according to STROBE (STrengthening…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the success or failure of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in patients with advanced bone maturation could be related to…
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…
