This article reports the successful use of miniscrews in the mandible to treat a 20-year-old
Mongolian woman with a chief complaint of anterior crossbite. The patient had a skeletal …

INTRODUCTION: This was a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the effect of
bracket type on the duration of orthodontic treatment and the occlusal outcome as measured …

Self-ligating bracket systems are increasing in popularity amongst orthodontists. This reflects
their high quality engineering, improved reliability and relative ease of use. However, it …

Objective: The present article aims to review all the in vitro experimental setups available in
literature used to evaluate the resistance to sliding (RS) in orthodontics in correlation with …

Torque control of maxillary incisors is very important in maxillary protrusion patients with first
premolars extraction, but the efficacy of maxillary incisor retraction of clear aligners is still …

Objective: To determine if there are significant clinical differences between self-ligating
brackets (SLB) and conventional brackets (CB) during orthodontic treatment, as perceived …

This study aimed to investigate the differences in the force loss during simulated archwire-
guided canine retraction between various conventional and self-ligating brackets. Three …

Thanks to its good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, superelastic Ni–Ti wire alloys
have been successfully used in orthodontic treatment. Therefore, it is important to quantify …

Background. Self-ligating brackets might be more efficient than conventional appliance
systems during the initial alignment stage of orthodontic treatment due to reduced frictional …

Purpose Although it has been revealed clinically that double-jaw orthognathic surgery
induces a systemic increase in the baseline bone turnover and subsequently accelerates …
