Does aligner refinement have the same efficiency in deep bite correction?: A retrospective study.

Background: Refinements are very common in clear aligner treatments. The aim of this study is to assess whether the predictability of deep overbite correction is similar over several refinements using clear aligners (Invisalign, Align Technology, San Jose, Calif) and examine the accuracy of vertical movement and inclination change of individual teeth.

Methods: This retrospective study included 20 deep bite patients (7M and 13F; 32.

Predictability of the deep overbite correction using clear aligners.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the predictability of overbite correction in patients with deepbite using the clear aligners (Invisalign, Align Technology, San Jose, Calif) and examine the accuracy of vertical movement and inclination change of individual teeth.

Methods: This retrospective study included 24 deepbite patients (10 males and 14 females; aged 32.8 ± 11.

Trends in Susceptibility to Aggressive Periodontal Disease.

is a gram-negative microbe involved in periodontitis. Strains with varying degrees of virulence have been identified, in healthy and periodontally compromised individuals alike. Hosts mount differential immune responses to its various serotypes and virulence factors.
