TL;DR: The incidence of WSL in patients treated with comprehensive orthodontics was significantly high, and the preventive therapy provided appeared to be ineffective.

TL;DR: Comparing the 2 sets of CBCT measurements, buccal bone height had greater reliability and agreement with direct measurements than did the buCCal bone thickness measurements, suggesting CBCT can be used to quantitatively assess bucca bone height and buccan bone thickness with high precision and accuracy.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the alveolar decortication enhances the rate of tooth movement during the initial tooth displacement phase; this results in a coupled mechanism of bone resorption and bone formation during the earlier stages of treatment, and this mechanism underlies the rapid orthodontic tooth movement.

TL;DR: Cognitively evaluating miniscrew implant-supported maxillary canine retraction with corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics found it can be a feasible treatment modality for adults seeking Orthodontic treatment with reduced treatment times.

TL;DR: Maxillary and mandibular cortical bones at commonly used miniscrew implant placement sites are thicker in adults than in adolescents, and there are also differences in cortical bone thickness between and within regions of the jaws that must be considered when placing minISCrew implants.

TL;DR: Evidence on the long-term stability of the major therapeutic interventions for correcting AOB appeared to be greater than 75%, and pooled results indicated reasonable stability of both the SX and NSX treatments of AOB measured by positive OB at 12 or more months after the treatment interventions.

TL;DR: It was observed that mandibular position with respect to cranial base had an effect on the OP airway volume, and the OPAirway volumes of Class II patients were smaller when compared with Class I and Class III patients.

TL;DR: With only standardized general prophylactic measures, new WSL developing on the maxillary front teeth during MB remain a frequent undesired side effect, affecting 60.9% of patients and counteracting the authors' efforts for clinical excellence.

TL;DR: Both appliances were efficient in correcting a transverse maxillary deficiency by using cone-beam computed tomography and the mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) model and the Tukey-Kramer method.

TL;DR: Investigation of the accuracy of alveolar bone-height measurements from CBCT images with varied bone thicknesses and imaging resolutions found excellent intrarater and interrater repeatability and the differences between CBCT and direct measurements were assessed.

TL;DR: The motives for adults to seek orthodontic treatment are numerous and varied, whereas psychological traits appear to be closer to those of the general public than to orthognathic patients.

TL;DR: Whether canine substitution, single implants, or toothsupported restorations is the method of choice for patients with missing maxillary lateral incisors, many challenges are involved in obtaining and retaining an optimal result.

TL;DR: This model can be adapted as a patient-specific clinical orthodontic tool for planning movement of 1 tooth or several teeth and suggests that stresses on miniscrew implants under load are sensitive to changes in diameter.

TL;DR: The ideal and the range of acceptable values for smile variables judged by laypersons from a full-face perspective for comparison with lower-face data were quantified to produce an optimal esthetic smile.

TL;DR: MI Paste Plus helped prevent the development of newwhite spot lesions during orthodontic treatment and decreased the number of white spot lesions already present and the incisal surface effect on the mean enamel decalcification index scores over time and between products was highly significant.

TL;DR: F Forces elicited by rapid maxillary expansion affect primarily the anterior sutures (intermaxillary and maxillary frontal nasal interfaces) compared with the posterior (zygomatic interface) craniofacial structures.

TL;DR: The weakness of the CVM method results from difficulty in classifying the vertebral bodies of C3 and C4 as trapezoidal, rectangular horizontal, square, or rectangular vertical, and this led to its inability to support its use as a strict clinical guideline for the timing of orthodontic treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, orthodontic treatment outcomes after conventional edgewise treatment and implant-anchored treatment were investigated by cephalometric analysis and several occlusal indexes, and the stability of these patients 2 years after the retention phase was also analyzed.

TL;DR: Fixed orthodontic appliances decreased cellular viability, induced DNA damage, and increased the nickel and chromium contents of the buccal mucosa cells.

TL;DR: These fully customized lingual orthodontic appliances were accurate in achieving the goals planned at the initial setup, except for the full amount of planned expansion and the inclination at the second molars.

TL;DR: The FSW canine-to-canine lingual retainer is very effective in maintaining the alignment of the mandibular anterior region after active orthodontic treatment, however, regular checkups are necessary to determine bonding failures, posttreatment changes, and complications as early as possible.

TL;DR: There is moderate evidence that changes after RME in growing children improve the conditions for nasal breathing and the results can be expected to be stable for at least 11 months after therapy.

TL;DR: 3-dimensional changes in the maxilla, the surrounding hard and soft tissues, and the circummaxillary sutures after bone-anchored maxillary protraction treatment produced significant orthopedic changes in growing Class III patients.

TL;DR: The analysis of the effect of treatment with functional appliances vs an untreated control group showed that skeletal changes were statistically significant, but unlikely to be clinically significant.

TL;DR: The results of this study support the postulated mediator role of PWB when evaluating OHRQOL outcomes in children undergoing orthodontic treatment, and suggest that children with low PWB can benefit from orthodentic treatment.

TL;DR: Mandibular height and width differed more than cortical bone thickness among the 3 types of subjects with different vertical facial dimensions, but statistically significant differences were evident is some sites for corticalBone thickness.

TL;DR: Although masticatory performance is related, both directly and indirectly, to a number of morphologic and functional factors, it is most closely related to occlusal factors.

TL;DR: The undesired effects of conventional facemask therapy were reduced or eliminated with miniplate anchorage, and efficient maxillary protraction was achieved in a shorter treatment period.

TL;DR: The results suggest that relatively lower MIT values were more favorable to osseointegration than higher values, and an inverse relationship between MIT and MRT values was observed.

TL;DR: Bimaxillary surgery resulted in good occlusal stability, whereby maxillary advancement was stable, whereas relapse of the mandibular setback varied.
