Recently, the number of patients who request esthetically pleasing aligner-type orthodontic appliances (referred to as aligners) has been increasing. However, the orthodontic forces generated by these...
This study aimed to compare the acceptability of removable acrylic appliances (RA) and Invisalign First (IF) clear aligners (Aligntech, USA) among children undergoing orthodontic treatment during the ...
A total of 40 patients, aged 6 to 13 years, were recruited for the study. Malocclusion severity was evaluated using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Dental Health Component (IOTN-DHC). Patients...
Although no significant difference was found in IOTN-DHC scores, the IF group demonstrated significantly higher AOAS scores compared to the RA group (p = 0.014). Survey responses revealed noticeable d...
This study underscores the significant superiority and advantage of IF over RA among pediatric orthodontic patients during the mixed dentition period....
To compare the levels of functional impairments, discomfort and satisfaction experienced by those treated with full-mouth customized lingual appliances (Lingual appliances), full-mouth self-ligating b...
Patients within one year of the end of treatment were included in the survey and given a questionnaire concerning different kinds of discomfort and difficulties during the treatment process. The quest...
A total of 115 patients participated in the study. In terms of functional impairments and discomfort, the rate and degree of speech difficulty was significantly higher in the Lingual appliances Group ...
Lingual and labial appliances caused similar level of overall pain. Taking into account the overall comfortability, aesthetics and cost, the mixed appliances may be suitable for some patients who have...
The Twin Block appliance (TBA) has evolved over the decades to remain a very effective treatment for growing Class II patients. This article introduces how two new versions of the TBA may be produced ...
To assess the accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility of a measurement digital technique to quantify the wear of the bracket slot walls of the fixed multibracket appliance after orthodontic treatm...
A total of 100 fixed multibracket appliances were cemented during the 15 months orthodontic treatment and subsequently removed. The fixed multibracket appliances were submitted preoperatively and post...
The repeatability and reproducibility of the digital measurement method for the area (mm...
The digital measurement technique is a reproducible, repeatable, and accurate method for quantifying the wear of the bracket slot walls of the fixed multibracket appliance after orthodontic treatment....
In invisible orthodontics, attachments are used with aligners to better control tooth movement. However, to what extent the geometry of the attachment can affect the biomechanical properties of the al...
A 3-dimensional model of mandibular teeth, periodontal ligaments, and the bone complex was employed. Rectangular attachments with systematic size variations were applied to the model with correspondin...
Expansion in the attachment size showed a continuous increase in force and moment. Considering the attachment size, the moment increased more than the force, resulting in a slightly higher moment-to-f...
Based on the experimental results, the constructed model successfully simulates the effect of the size of attachments. The larger the size of the attachment, the greater the force and moment, and the ...
The aim was to assess adult patients' weight changes during the initial phase of orthodontic treatment (OT) with clear aligner therapy (CAT) versus fixed bracket systems (FBS)....
This pilot prospective cohort study included systemically-healthy adults who were treated with CAT or FBS. Participants with eating disorders and/or undergoing dietary programs were excluded. Weight w...
Forty-two participants (CAT group: 22 and FBS group: 20) were analysed. In the CAT group, there was a slight initial mean weight gain of 0.2 Kg (~ 0.4 pounds) (T2-T1), and 0.8 Kg (~ 1.7 pounds) overal...
There were no significant differences in the weight changes during the initial phase of OT with CAT compared with FBS....
Clear aligner therapy should not be advertised as a weight loss strategy....
The objectives of this study were to investigate the biomechanical effects of clear aligners (CAs) with various thermoplastic material thicknesses and gingival-margin designs for space closure in extr...
The radiologic and intraoral scanning technology, in vitro mechanical experiment, viscoelastic modeling, and finite element analysis (FEA) were integrated to establish an orthodontic simulation model....
A 0.75-mm-thick aligner resulted in greater periodontal ligament (PDL) stress than 0.50 mm, and there was no clear correlation between the control ability of tooth movement and the thickness. For diff...
The effect of material thickness and margin design of CA on the force and movement differed in different teeth. Preferable CA designs of each tooth during different movement stages should be presented...
Prefabricated myofunctional appliance can guide tooth eruption, improve dentition alignment, correct myofunctional disorders and harmful oral habits. However, its application to skeletal discrepancy m...
We established three samples of prefabricated myofunctional appliances. The first one was edge to edge without overjet, and the outer shield of both jaws were flattened. The second one was 3 mm overje...
The deformation was significant in the incisors regions, especially in the vertical and lateral dimensions. The maximum displacements of 3 mm overjet with step shield group were 7.08 mm (vertical), 3....
The prefabricated myofunctional appliances may cause deformation during occlusion. Compared to step shield group, the application of lower bumper exhibited better resistance to occlusal force....
This study quantifies the effects of material, size of the continuous archwires, and level of overeruption on the loads on teeth in the correction of overerupted canines....
An orthodontic force test (OFT) was used to measure the 3-dimensional loads delivered by the archwires to the brackets attached to the maxillary right incisors, canine, and premolars. Dentoforms simul...
The forces were dominantly intrusive on the canines and extrusive on the first premolars and lateral incisors. The magnitudes of the extrusive forces were about 74% and 52% that of intrusive force on ...
The intrusive and extrusive forces on teeth in the correction of canine overeruption can be quantified by the in vitro orthodontic force test, and the effects of the 3 factors significantly affect the...
