Objective: The effect of different attachment positions on torque control during the labialization of maxillary lateral incisors with clear aligners was evaluated using finite element analysis.
Methods: Anatomical data acquired through cone-beam computed tomography, combined with the design of 0.625-mm-thick aligners and horizontal attachments, were integrated into the software.
Objective: Comparison of pain levels of patients treated with 2 different passive self-ligating bracket systems right after initial archwire placement.
Methods: A total of 34 patients with mild crowding were allocated randomly to 2 groups to be treated using 2 different self-ligating brackets. 0.
Objectives: To compare the cephalometric treatment results of adult deep-bite cases after labial and lingual fixed orthodontic treatment.
Materials And Methods: A total of 102 patients underwent lingual orthodontic treatment and complete records were evaluated. The following inclusion criteria were used: patients who had Angle Class I or mild Class II malocclusion; comprehensive orthodontic treatment that did not include intrusion mechanics or any extractions; patients with an initial overbite of more than 3.
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the biofilm formation between labial and lingual orthodontic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with a mean age of 24 ± 8.8 who had received labial or lingual orthodontic treatment were enrolled in the study.
Successful orthodontic treatment of adult cases depends on the biological, mechanical, and esthetic requirements of patients. While customized lingual appliance systems meet the esthetic expectations of the patients, they provide improved patient comfort, have three-dimensional mechanical control, and can be used for the treatment of all types of malocclusions. This report demonstrated the use of fully customized lingual orthodontic brackets for treating an adult case with extraction.

Early diagnostic criteria are as follows: less responsive to social stimuli, inability to develop natural speaking skills, lack of communication skills, and limited and repetitive behaviors. Orthodontic treatment is a challenging process for doctors in autistic patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIn recent years, the popularity of indirect bonding increased due to advantages such as reduction of chair time and enhancement of patient comfort. Although the indirect bonding technique has improved over the years, the literature has shown different techniques of bracket placement; furthermore, new materials were specially developed for this technique. The aim of this article is to provide a review of the literature, advantages, disadvantages, and laboratory and clinical stages of the indirect bonding technique.

Materials And Methods: Among 28 patients displaying Angle Class II malocclusion, 14 patients with a mean age of 14.8 ± 3.
Objective: To compare the dentofacial effects of mandibular incisor intrusion using mini-implants with those of a conventional incisor intrusion mechanic, the utility arch.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-six deep-bite patients were enrolled to one of the two groups. In group 1 the mandibular incisors were intruded using a 0.
