Article Abstract
Aim of this study was to assess long-term stability of orthodontic treatment in a sample of 1016 patients until 10 years postretention. Treatment outcome was measured with the PAR-index at 6 different stages. The mean age of the patients was 12.0 +/- 3.1 year at the start of treatment to 26.3 +/- 2.9 year 10 years postretention. The results show that 67% of the orthodontic treatment result, as measured with the PAR-index, was maintained 10 years postretention. The PAR-scores for the midline and the open bite remained about the same over the years. However, the scores for the lateral occlusion, overjet, reversed overjet, overbite, and contact point displacement of the upper and lower front teeth increased gradually over time. Nearly 50% of the total relapse took place the first two years after retention. The largest change was found for the position of the lower incisors. Ten years postretention their position was even worse than at the start of treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Different types of orthodontic retainers (like vacuum-formed retainers (VFRs), removable Hawley retainers (HRs), and fixed bonded retainers (FBRs)) have been studied for their effectiveness in maintaining tooth alignment and arch dimensions after treatment, but results have been inconsistent.* -
- A comprehensive literature review included 22 studies involving 1797 patients, assessing the comparative efficacy of VFRs, HRs, and FBRs on arch widths, arch length, and anterior alignment.* -
- The findings revealed that while VFRs were more effective than HRs in reducing irregularity in the maxilla, there were no significant differences in arch dimensions between VFRs and HRs

Background: Posttreatment changes after orthodontic treatment are challenging. One of the main reasons for such a phenomenon is the lack of patient compliance with removable retainers especially in the maxillary arch, due to palatal coverage, deterioration of speech, decreased masticatory efficiency, and loss of retainers. Fixed retainers have been introduced to overcome patient compliance and provide longer stable results.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) with maxillary atresia.
Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 27 paediatric patients evaluated through a Brazilian version of the SDSC, answered by their guardians at the following experimental time points: T0 (before installing the Hyrax expander), T1 (on the day of expander stabilization), T2 (3 months after expander stabilization), T3 (immediately after expander removal, following 6 months of retention), and T4 (3 months post-retention). Multilevel Poisson analysis adjusted for repeated measures was performed to compare outcomes across the assessment time points.
