Objective: To analyze and compare external apical root resorption (EARR) of maxillary incisors treated by intrusion arch or continuous archwire mechanics.
Materials And Methods: This cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) study analyzed 28 deep bite patients in the permanent dentition who were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1, 12 patients with initial mean age of 15.1 ± 1.6 years and mean overbite of 4.6 ± 1.2 mm treated with the Connecticut intrusion arch (CIA) in the upper arch (Ortho Organizers, Carlsbad, Calif) for a mean period of 5.8 ± 1.27 months. Group 2, 16 patients with initial mean age of 22.1 ± 5.7 years and mean overbite of 4.1 ± 1.1 mm treated with conventional leveling and alignment using continuous archwire mechanics for 6.1 ± 0.81 months. The degree of EARR was detected in 112 maxillary incisors by using CBCT scans and a three-dimensional program (Dolphin 11.7, Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif). The CBCT scans were obtained before (T1) and 6 months after initiation of treatment (T2). Differences between and within groups were assessed by nonpaired and paired t-tests, respectively, with a 5% significance level.
Results: Significant differences were found for both groups between T1 and T2 ( P < .05) indicating that EARR occurred in both groups. However, there were no significant differences when EARR was compared between group 1 (-0.76 mm) and group 2 (-0.59 mm).
Conclusions: The Connecticut intrusion arch did not lead to greater EARR of maxillary incisors when compared with conventional orthodontic mechanics.

Mandibular arch distalization using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is effective in correcting borderline Class lll cases without surgery. This review analysed the existing literature evaluating the dental, skeletal, and soft tissue changes after en masse mandibular arch distalization using TADs. We followed PRISMA guidelines and registered this review in PROSPERO database CRD42023450524.

The palatal anchorage device (PAD) is commonly used in fixed appliance for anchorage, but the biomechanics of PAD in patients treated with clear aligners(CAs)remains poorly understood, especially in its elastic mode and force magnitude. This study aimed to assess the biomechanical effects of using PAD for retraction during clear aligner treatment (CAT) with the extraction of two maxillary first premolars. Four finite element models were created: (1) Incisors retraction (IR) with active contraction of the clear aligner only; (2) IR with PAD using different forces (50,75,100 g) or not; (3) PAD without IR (forces of 50,75,100 g), and (4) Different elastic directions (D1, D2, D3) from aligner to PAD without IR.

Smile aesthetics are increasingly prioritized in dental practice, with accurate orthodontic assessment and treatment planning being crucial for optimal outcomes. This study evaluates Invisalign SmileView™ (SV), an AI-based tool that simulates post-treatment smiles, focusing on its ability to present potential orthodontic outcomes to patients. : This research aims to study whether SV can simulate predictable orthodontic results and if it makes anatomical modifications to the teeth.

To compare the effects of expansion screw with maxillary protractor and clear aligners combined with maxillary protractor on the maxilla and maxillary dentition of mixed dentition patients with class Ⅲ skeletal malocclusion using finite element analysis, further providing clinical guidance for clear aligner treatment. A finite element model was established based on maxillofacial cone-beam CT data of a 10-year-old boy with mixed dentition, class Ⅲ skeletal malocclusion, who visited Department of Orthodontics, School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University in January, 2024. The expander with protractor group (group A) and the clear aligners with protractor group (group B) were divided.

Objective: Aim of this study was to investigate the forces and moments during segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Cantilever-Intrusion-Springs (CIS).
Methods: Three different CIS modifications were investigated using a robotic biomechanical simulation system: unmodified CIS (#1, control), CIS with a lingual directed 6° toe-in bend (#2), and CIS with an additional 20° twist bend (#3). Tooth movement was simulated by the apparative robotic stand, controlled by a force-control algorithm, recording the acting forces and moments with a force-torque sensor.
