Introduction: Orthodontic pain (OP) is a subjective experience induced by prolonged force on the teeth in fixed orthodontic treatment. OP acts as a predictor of aspects related to oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL). It is important to understand the extent of the impact of OP on a patient's daily life, especially on stomatognathic function and social impact.

Article Synopsis
- Miniscrews, made from titanium (Ti), provide absolute anchorage in orthodontics but have several disadvantages, while polyaryletheretherketone (PEEK) may offer potential advantages as an alternative material.
- This study utilizes finite element analysis (FEA) to compare the biomechanical performance of Ti and PEEK miniscrews under various insertion angles and loads.
- Results indicate that while PEEK generates more stress in the bone compared to Ti, it presents a viable option for TAD fabrication based on its biomechanical performance insights.
Background: The study was designed to evaluate and compare the rest periods of 4 and 6 weeks for healing of orthodontically induced root resorption craters.
Methods: The study was conducted with a split-mouth design, with the right and left mandibular first premolars of 14 subjects serving as the two groups of the study. The right premolars constituted group A and the left ones, group B.
