The purpose of this study is to provide an initial investigation into the predictability and characteristics of the mandibular curve of Spee (COS) leveling using the Invisalign appliance (Align Techno...
This study used a retrospective sample of patients treated by a single experienced Invisalign provider in private practice. All adult patients with Class I or II Angle malocclusions treated using a mi...
Forty-two subjects met the selection criteria. ClinCheck predicted 0.55 mm (P < 0.0001) more COS leveling than the actual outcome. The mean COS leveling accuracy using Invisalign was 35%, and ClinChec...
To achieve desired clinical treatment goals, there should be a prescribed overcorrection of the mandibular COS leveling within the ClinCheck treatment plan, and the extrusion of mandibular first molar...
Demineralization of the enamel surface, which appears as white spot lesions during and after removal of the fixed orthodontic appliance, is the most common disadvantage of the orthodontic treatment co...
The present study aims to assess the remineralizing effect of the chicken eggshell powder on the demineralized enamel surfaces after debonding the orthodontic bracket system....
The current study was performed on 80 prepared premolar crowns embedded into acrylic molds. The samples were prepared to receive routine steps of the bonding process for the bracket system. The paste ...
It was found that the mean value of the Ca/P ratio for the samples before bonding of the orthodontic bracket system was (4.17 ± 2.2). This value significantly decreased to (2 ± 1.3) after debonding of...
The chicken eggshell powder has an excellent remineralization effect for the demineralized enamel surface after debonding the orthodontic enamel surface....
This research project aimed to compare the number of maxillary incisors and canine movement between Invisalign and fixed orthodontic appliances using artificial intelligence and identify any limitatio...
Sixty patients (Invisalign, n = 30; braces, n = 30) were randomly selected from the Ohio State University Graduate Orthodontic Clinic archive. Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) analysis was used to indicat...
Based on the posttreatment Peer Assessment Rating scores, the quality of finished patients in both groups was similar. In maxillary incisors and canines, there was a significant difference in movement...
When comparing fixed orthodontic appliances to Invisalign, patients treated with fixed appliances were found to have significantly more maxillary tooth movement in all directions, especially with rota...
The aim of this review was to determine whether the type of removable appliance, as well as the age and sex of the patient, may affect the extension or reduction of wear time by assessing the correlat...
Randomised case control trials, cohort studies, case series, observational studies, reviews, and retrospective analyses were identified. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane Coll...
Regardless of the type of extra- or intraoral appliances, mean wear time was shorter than recommended, although patients using intraoral appliances cooperated more. The best compliance was noted for S...
The considerable inconsistency and imprecision of articles could affect the reliability of the results. Previous studies analysing the effectiveness of treatment with removable appliances based on an ...
Despite the large number of studies on the effect of braces on teeth, there is no information on the dynamics of the state of the ultrastructure of the hard tissues of teeth during orthodontic treatme...
To compare the immediate three-dimensional (3D) perioral soft-tissue changes and impact on speech induced by clear aligners and fixed appliances....
In this repeated-measure experimental study, stereophotogrammetric 3D photographs of 40 participants were recorded before and immediately after the introduction of clear aligners and fixed appliances....
In the vertical plane, the clear aligners induced inferior displacement (range 0.4-1.5 mm) for all nine landmarks (P < .01), whereas fixed appliances induced inferior displacement only of A-point (0.4...
Clear aligners and fixed appliances produced immediate effects on perioral soft tissues, which are most evident in the vertical plane for clear aligners, and in the sagittal plane for fixed appliances...
Although the Invisalign appliance has reported difficulty in achieving the overbite outcomes predicted by ClinCheck software (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif), the effect of modifications to the ...
A retrospective study was conducted using pretreatment and posttreatment intraoral scans and predicted outcomes (ClinCheck) stereolithography files of 2 groups of consecutively treated adult patients ...
The regression coefficient analysis indicated that for both groups, the deeper the pretreatment overbite and the greater overbite reduction projected according to ClinCheck, there is a linear increase...
The use of precision bite ramps does not appear to significantly improve the ability of SmartTrack material to predictably open the bite. SmartTrack material with or without bite ramps does not appear...
Ingestion is the entry of a substance into the human organism, which occurs by taking it through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. One of the adverse events that may happen during the course ...
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to survey orthodontic clear aligner therapy (CAT) practices among orthodontists in Australia....
A pilot-tested electronic questionnaire was distributed to 434 full members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Questions were related to demographics, use and choice of aligners, digital trea...
The response rate was 54.6%. Most orthodontists (93.13%) provided CAT, which made up 24.17% of their annual orthodontic caseload. The median percentage of initial digital treatment plans (DTP) approve...
CAT practices among orthodontists varied. Further research is required to investigate the challenges in effective CAT provision highlighted in this survey....
This study compared clinical outcomes between aligners and fixed appliances in class II adolescent patients....
Records of 31 aligners and 35 fixed class II patients, aged 13.5 ± 1.6 years were compared. Class II elastics was the mechanism employed for correcting the malocclusion. DI scores were used to compare...
The mean pre-, post-treatment, and overall reduction in PAR index scores between the groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The clear aligners group had significantly shorter treatment du...
Treatment outcomes for aligners in class II adolescent patients were comparable to those achieved in fixed appliances. Shorter treatment and class II correction durations, fewer visits, and better con...
Treating class II adolescent patients with aligners seems promising and demands shorter treatment time and fewer visits....
