Objective: To compare the changes in buccolinugal inclination of mandibular canines and intercanine distance in patients treated with clear aligners to those treated with preadjusted edgewise appliances.
Materials And Methods: The buccolingual inclination of mandibular canines and the intercanine distance were measured on pre- and posttreatment cone-beam computed tomograms of 30 patients who had been treated with clear aligners and 30 patients who had been treated with fixed preadjusted edgewise appliances. Differences between the aligner and fixed appliance groups and between pre- and posttreatment measurements were tested for statistical significance.
Results: In both groups, most of the mandibular canines had positive buccolingual inclinations (ie, their crowns were positioned lateral to their roots) both before and after treatment. While there was no difference between the groups pretreatment, the posttreatment buccolingual inclination was significantly greater in the aligner group. In the fixed appliance group, the canines became more upright with treatment, while the buccolingual inclination did not change significantly in the clear aligner group. The intercanine distance did not differ between the groups either before or after treatment. However, it increased significantly over the course of treatment in the aligner group, whereas it did not change significantly in the fixed appliance group.
Conclusions: Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners tends to increase the mandibular intercanine distance with little change in inclination in contrast to treatment with fixed appliances, which leaves the intercanine distance unchanged but leads to more upright mandibular canines.

Article Synopsis
- Initial archwires, specifically Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti), are essential in orthodontic treatment for resolving crowding and correcting tooth rotations with light forces.
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Copper Ni-Ti 35°C archwires against conventional Ni-Ti archwires in dental alignment and the maintenance of the mandibular arch form.
- Results indicated no significant difference between the two types of archwires in resolving crowding or maintaining mandibular arch dimensions, suggesting that Copper Ni-Ti 35°C performs similarly to conventional Ni-Ti.

In circumstances where antemortem information concerning the deceased individual is unavailable, forensic experts prepare biological profiling for unidentified human remains that aids in narrowing the search for identity. Biological profiling includes basic demographic information such as sex, age, stature, and ethnicity. Sex identification is the first and key step in the biological profiling of unidentified human remains, as it effectively reduces potential matches by excluding nearly one-half of the suspected cases and facilitates the subsequent stages.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers measured intercanine and intermolar distances, as well as dental arch length, in a group of 28 UCLP patients and compared these measurements to a control group of 30 healthy children.
- * Results indicated that UCLP patients had significantly shorter intercanine distance and arch length than the control group, while intermolar distance showed no significant differences; the dental arch relationships improved over the years but remained reduced compared to healthy peers.
