Comparative Analysis of Braces and Aligners: Long-Term Orthodontic Outcomes.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term results of orthodontic treatment with traditional braces and Invisalign, with a particular emphasis on treatment length, patient satisfaction, correction of malocclusion, and long-term stability.

Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, individuals who had orthodontic treatment at a tertiary care center had their data analysed. Patients with mild to severe malocclusions treated with conventional braces or Invisalign between the ages of 12 and 18 met the inclusion criteria.

Evaluation of Orthodontic Retention Protocols and Their Impact on Treatment Stability: Insights from a Tertiary Care Study.

Context: The goals of orthodontic therapy are to provide stable treatment results and the best possible tooth alignment. Orthodontic retention regimens are essential for avoiding relapses after treatment; however, there is ongoing discussion on the best regimen.

Methods: Orthodontic patients treated at a tertiary care center were the subject of a retrospective analysis.

Influence of access cavity design on root canal instrumentation efficacy in molars - An study.

Background: Several designs of access cavity have been evolved in the recent past with the concept of minimal tooth tissue removal which would improve the root canal treated teeth fracture resistance.

Aim: To investigate the effect of conservative design access cavity during the instrumentation of maxillary molar root canals.

Materials And Methods: Eighty noncarious maxillary molars were assigned to the traditional and conservative access groups ( = 40 each).

Assessment of Skeletal Age using Hand-Wrist Radiographs Following BJORK System Sample Size - Prospective Study.

Introduction: The planning of effective orthodontic therapy greatly benefits from an understanding of the skeletal maturation and stage of growth of the patients seeking orthodontic treatment. However, the patient's various craniofacial structures have varying levels of growth potential. The patient is exposed to additional radiation when hand-wrist radiographs are regularly used to forecast growth.

Efficacy of the Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion: An Original Research.

Introduction: One of the most common procedures done in orthodontics is the rapid maxillary expansion for the treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency. Hence, in the present study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of the rapid palatal expansion assisted with the miniscrews.

Materials And Methods: We piloted a prospective observational study among 50 age-matched adolescent participants.
