A total of 102 patients with a mean ± standard deviation age of 13.94 ± 1.53 years satisfied the selection criteria. A mean ± standard deviation of 41.38 ± 30.43% of the predicted overbite reduction w...
The average achieved overbite was less than half of what was planned by the orthodontists via the ClinCheck facility. The age grouping, the provision of bite ramps, and the G8 protocol appear to have ...
To evaluate the change in overbite within an untreated cohort from 9 to 18 years of age and to compare age-related changes in overbite depth based on vertical skeletal proportion....
Lateral cephalograms were obtained from the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation (AAOF) Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection Project. All cephalometric outcome measures were assessed at a...
A total of 130 subjects from the Denver, Bolton Brush, and Oregon Growth Studies were included. Overbite was relatively constant from T1 to T3 irrespective of facial type, with a minor decrease (0.15 ...
In hyperdivergent subjects, a marginal decrease in overbite was observed from 9 to 18 years of age, with a transient increase from the period spanning 9-11 years to 13-15 years, which was negated in l...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complexity of malocclusion and existing patterns in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) using the index of complexity, outcome and need (ICON)....
This cross-sectional study included children diagnosed with ASD, aged 9-15 years. A group of healthy children with the same demographic characteristics was randomly selected as the control group. Malo...
A total of 324 children, divided into ASD (162) and control (162) groups, comprised the study population. Our results demonstrated that the average overall ICON score was significantly higher in the A...
ASD children obtained significantly higher overall ICON scores, indicating more complex and severe malocclusions. These children also exhibited a greater tendency towards Class II and III malocclusion...
This study aimed to quantify the outcomes of adolescent patients with Class II malocclusion treated with the Carriere Motion 3D Appliance (CMA) combined with full fixed appliances....
Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 22 patients were available before orthodontic treatment (T1), at removal of the CMA (T2), and posttreatment (T3). The average age of the patients was 13.5 ± 1.6 ...
Changes were analyzed with 1 sample t tests using the mean differences during the CMA phase (T1 to T2) and total treatment time (T1 to T3). Significant skeletal changes included a slight reduction of ...
The CMA is an effective treatment modality for Class II correction in growing patients because of a combination of mesial movement of the mandibular molar, distal rotation of the maxillary molar, and ...
This study is a multicenter, two-arm parallel randomized control trial carried out across 3 hospital orthodontic units. A total of 75 patients participated in the study, with 41 randomly allocated in ...
In total, 41 boys and 34 girls were included in the study. Ages for the boys ranged from within 1 month of their 12th birthday to 13.5 years old. For the girls, the range was from within 1 month of th...
SPSS Version 25 software was used to undertake the data analysis. No formal statistical testing was undertaken. To analyze and compare the scores between the two groups, independent t-tests were used....
As only the ITG were in treatment over the periods of DC1-DC2 a comparison of the clinical outcomes cannot be made. With regards to the psychological outcome, no statically significant impact was note...
To compare skeletal and dentoalveolar changes after orthodontic treatment of class II malocclusion in patients with hypodivergent and hyperdivergent growth patterns through cast splint fixed functiona...
N = 42 out of n = 47 patients with mandibular plane angles < 34° or ≥ 34° were divided into a hypodivergent (n = 24) and a hyperdivergent (n = 18) group. All patients received a single-step mandibular...
Hypodivergent and hyperdivergent patients showed different treatment outcomes, but significant differences existed only for overbite and interincisal angle. Nearly all measurements suggested similar t...
Treatment with FFA causes similar skeletal and dentoalveolar effects in hypodivergent and in hyperdivergent patients. The correction of overjet and molar relationship is mainly caused by dentoalveolar...
Hyperdivergent patients do not respond unfavorably to FFA treatment compared to hypodivergent patients. Lower incisor protrusion occurs more pronounced in hypodivergent patients. The growth pattern ou...
The introduction of bone-anchored maxillary protraction eliminated the side effects of facemask in the early treatment of patients with maxillary retrusion. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of...
Forty growing patients with Class III malocclusion and retrognathic maxilla were randomly allocated into two groups: treated and control groups. In the treated group, patients were treated with full-t...
Forty patients agreed to participate, and 30 of them completed the study (treated group, n = 17; control group, n = 13). The average treatment duration was 11.9 months. MAMP resulted in a significant ...
Within the limitations of this study and high attrition rate, the MAMP protocol can effectively increase maxillary forward growth with good control over the growth of the mandible antero-posteriorly a...
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between occlusal contacts, overbite, transverse expansion, and the buccolingual inclination of the teeth with reference to the predicted treat...
The occlusal contacts, overbite, the buccolingual inclination and transverse expansion of the maxillary arch of adult patients satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria were measured at the initial ...
Thirty-three patients, who commenced treatment between 2013 and 2018 and satisfied inclusion/exclusion criteria were evaluated. An overall loss of posterior contact was recorded and highlighted by a s...
In mild-to-moderate Class I malocclusions, treatment using the Invisalign® appliance resulted in an overall loss of posterior contact. The loss of occlusal contact was correlated with deficiencies in ...
An increase in life expectancy was observed in the past years. Consequently, the knowledge of the maturational changes in the occlusion is highly important to guide clinicians during treatment plannin...
In this article, the occlusal and facial aging changes occurred during almost 50 years of follow-up are described. A normal occlusion sample from Bauru Dental School, University of São Paulo, Brazil, ...
Maturational changes in non-treated individuals were very delicate. Mandibular crowding, decrease in the overbite, changes in the maxillary second molar position, increase in the clinical crown length...
Compared to the remarkable facial and skin changes during aging, the occlusion seems to be the most stable feature of the face during the aging process....

Thirty consecutive patients with a complete dentition and Angle Class I malocclusion treated with a conventional lingual bracket system (STb; Ormco, Glendora, Calif) or self-ligating lingual bracket s...
The conventional group had a mean treatment time of 2.10 ± 0.69 years, and the self-ligating group had a treatment duration of 1.68 ± 0.48 years (P >0.05). The mean posttreatment ABO scores in the con...
The design of the lingual appliances used in this study did not influence the treatment duration and the total ABO scores in treating patients with a Class I relationship in this sample. Both types of...
