pubmed

Prog Orthod. 2025 Mar 3;26(1):9. doi: 10.1186/s40510-025-00556-4. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: To establish consensus of skeletal anchorage versus conventional anchorage in treating: 1. Maxillary transverse deficiency in growing and adult patients, 2. Class II skeletal disharmony due to mandibular retrusion in growing patients, 3. Class III skeletal disharmony in growing patients. METHODS: A four-rounds modified Delphi method…

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

pubmed

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…

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

pubmed

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.…
