Does age influence deep overbite correction with Invisalign? A prospective study evaluating mandibular incisor intrusion in adolescents vs adults.

Objective: To compare the accuracy of mandibular incisor intrusion with Invisalign (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) in adolescents to that in adults.

Materials And Methods: This prospective clinical study included 58 patients treated with either Invisalign Teen or Invisalign Full. Mandibular central and lateral incisors were measured on digital models created from intraoral scans.

Linear accuracy and reliability of cone beam CT derived 3-dimensional images constructed using an orthodontic volumetric rendering program.

Objective: To compare accuracy of linear measurements made on cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) derived 3-dimensional (3D) surface rendered volumetric images to direct measurements made on human skulls.

Materials And Methods: Twenty orthodontic linear measurements between anatomical landmarks on 23 human skulls were measured by observers using a digital caliper. The skulls were imaged with CBCT and Dolphin 3D (version 2.

Accuracy of linear measurements from imaging plate and lateral cephalometric images derived from cone-beam computed tomography.

Introduction: As orthodontic practice moves toward 3-dimensional cephalometric analyses, a solution is required to ensure sustained availability of well-established projected treatment outcomes based on 2-dimensional analyses. This ex-vivo study was conducted to compare the accuracy of linear measurements made on photostimulable phosphor cephalograms with 3 methods for simulating lateral cephalograms with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: The linear distances between anatomical landmarks on dentate dry human skulls were measured by observers using digital calipers for S-N, Ba-N, M-N, ANS-N, ANS-PNS, Pog-Go, Go-M, Po-Or, and Go-Co.
