Non-surgical correction of an adult Class II high-angle with occlusal plane cant by four compromised permanent first molars extraction, preadjusted lingual appliance and miniscrews: A case report

Int Orthod. 2025 Jan 15;23(2):100965. doi: 10.1016/j.ortho.2024.100965. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT This case report describes a complex full-step asymmetrical Class II division 1 high-angle in an adult patient treated by extraction of compromised first molars with a preadjusted lingual appliance. Since the patient presented severe sagittal and vertical discrepancies combined with an Izard orthofrontal…

Open bite treatment using clear aligners

Angle Orthod. 2013 Sep;83(5):913-9. doi: 10.2319/080212-627.1. Epub 2013 Jan 30. ABSTRACT A 35-year-old female patient with dentoalveolar open bite of 4 mm, molar Class I malocclusion, centered midlines, moderate crowding, and labial inclination of the lower incisor was treated with clear aligners to reduce protrusion and close the anterior open bite. The result showed that…

Cone-beam computed tomography evaluation of periodontal and bone support loss in extraction cases

Prog Orthod. 2013 Sep 11;14:29. doi: 10.1186/2196-1042-14-29. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in particular, whether bone resorption occurred at the extraction sites of a group of patients under orthodontic treatment, and, in general, whether extraction treatment predisposes patients to a greater degree of root resorption. METHODS: The study group comprised…

3D FEM comparison of lingual and labial orthodontics in en masse retraction

Prog Orthod. 2014 May 30;15(1):38. doi: 10.1186/s40510-014-0038-9. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare displacements and stress after en masse retraction of mandibular dentition with lingual and labial orthodontics using three-dimensional (3D) finite element models (FEM). METHODS: A 3D FEM of each lower tooth was constructed and located as appropriate to Roth’s…

Frictional resistance exerted by different lingual and labial brackets: an in vitro study

Prog Orthod. 2013 Oct 18;14:37. doi: 10.1186/2196-1042-14-37. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although much has been written on the implications of friction generated between orthodontic archwires and labial brackets, information on lingual brackets is still limited. Hence, we set out to investigate the frictional resistance exerted by different lingual and labial brackets, including both conventional and self-ligating designs.…

Intra-arch widths: a meta-analysis

Int Orthod. 2013 Jun;11(2):177-92. doi: 10.1016/j.ortho.2013.02.005. Epub 2013 Apr 2. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To determine and compare the mean values of various intra-arch distances in Class I, Class II division 1 and Class II division 2 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The search engines PubMed, Embrace and Cochrane were employed to select articles for further study, and…

Comparison of adhesion forces developed by foil mesh of various dimensions applied in combination with composites of different viscosity

Int Orthod. 2013 Sep;11(3):290-302. doi: 10.1016/j.ortho.2013.05.004. Epub 2013 Jul 15. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine what effect various combinations of particular bracket bases and composites of different viscosity have on adhesion force. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty extracted premolars, upper and lower, were randomly assigned to four groups of 20 teeth…
