Objective: This study aimed to analyze cephalometric changes associated with deep bite correction using the Reverse Curve of Spee (RCS) archwire in class II division 1orthodontic patients.
Methods: A total of 168 orthodontic patients (aged 12-25 years) with diagnosed deep bite malocclusion underwent deep bite correction using RCS archwires between January 2019 and December 2020. Cephalometric radiographs were taken at various time points to assess skeletal and dental changes.
Background: Fixed orthodontic appliances are widely used in dental practice to correct malocclusions and improving oral health. However, their impact on systemic inflammation and hematological parameters remains under-explored.
Materials And Methods: A cohort of 60 patients, aged 12 -30 years, undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment, were enrolled in the study.
Background: Orthodontic therapy aims at achieving stable treatment outcomes by ensuring retention of corrected tooth positions. Various retention protocols have been proposed, but their efficacy in sustaining treatment outcomes remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: This study evaluated the effectiveness of different retention protocols in maintaining treatment outcomes following orthodontic therapy.
Background: Class II malocclusion is a common orthodontic issue characterized by the excessive protrusion of the upper teeth relative to the lower teeth. Early intervention during mixed dentition has been advocated to guide skeletal growth and potentially reduce the severity of malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: A comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of early (before the pubertal growth spurt) versus late (after the pubertal growth spurt) orthodontic intervention in managing Class II malocclusion.

Reaction time has physiological significance and is a simple and non - invasive test for peripheral as well as central neural structures. And the reaction time is influenced by different factors. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the reaction time was faster for high pitch auditory or low pitch auditory stimulus.
