Introduction Clear aligners (CAs) have recently become popular and widely used orthodontic appliances. Research on CA biomechanics has become a focal point in orthodontics to improve the efficiency of CA…
Introduction The Holdaway difference represents the relationship of the NB line to the mandibular incisor (NB-L1) and the bony pogonion (NB-Pog). This study aimed to evaluate treatment changes of NB-L1,…
Introduction The objective of this study was to verify changes in behavioral abilities and cognitive functions after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in children with refractory sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in the…
Introduction The mesially inclined mandibular second molar can be supported upright by the microimplant anchorage. This study established the finite element model to analyze the displacement trend and periodontal ligament…
Introduction Skeletal stability after bimaxillary surgical correction of Class III malocclusion was investigated through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the maxilla and the distal and proximal mandibular segments using…
Introduction We aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) forces on the enamel surface with 2 adhesives after treatment with various radiation doses. Methods A total of 120 premolars…
Introduction Orthodontic mini-implants are a widely accepted treatment modality in orthodontics; however, the failure rate is moderately high. Surface roughening is the golden standard in conventional oral implantology, and this…
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a systemic developmental qualitative defect of the enamel that affects 1-4 first permanent molars with or without incisor involvement. Enamel hypomineralization is identified visually as…
Introduction This study aimed to assess the transfer accuracy of a digital indirect bonding method for lingual brackets using double vacuum-formed trays in vivo. Methods Twenty-five patients in need of lingual…
Introduction The mechanosensitive ion channel, Piezo1, is responsible for transducing mechanical stimuli into intracellular biochemical signals and has been identified within periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Nonetheless, the precise biologic function…
