Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic characteristics among 1,278 schoolchildren in the West Bank, Palestine, focusing on those without prior orthodontic treatment.
- Results showed varying degrees of malocclusion, with 65% having a Class I molar relationship, while significant proportions exhibited issues like increased overjet and overbite, openbite, and crowding.
- Findings indicate a higher prevalence of dental anomalies in males, emphasizing the need for improved monitoring and preventive measures for malocclusion in the region.

Introduction: Coated archwires have been introduced to improve esthetics during orthodontic treatment. Our aim was to investigate the mechanical properties of coated superelastic archwires compared with conventional superelastic archwires with conventional and self-ligating brackets.
Methods: Four types of orthodontic archwires were investigated, 2 superelastic nickel-titanium and 2 coated Ultraesthetic archwires in 0.
