Published: June 2019

Incisor retraction may result in lip retraction, interlabial gap closure and increase of the nasolabial angle but a clear consensus on the effect of incisor retraction on facial aesthetics has not yet been achieved. Despite current evidence being weak, it seems to indicate that in a well-managed orthodontic case, with or without extractions, the soft-tissue and facial aesthetic changes are generally favourable or clinically insignificant.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the skeletal and dental treatment effects of Class II malocclusion cases using skeletally anchored Forsus (miniscrew-anchored FRD or miniplate-anchored FRD), with conventional Forsus FRD.

Materials And Methods: Unrestricted electronic search of six databases and additional manual searches were performed up to July 2023. Randomized controlled trials having one treatment arm with skeletal anchored Forsus FRD in treatment of Class II malocclusion and another matched treatment group treated with conventional Forsus FRD were included in this review.

Class I bimaxillary protrusion is characterized by proclined incisors, a convex facial profile, procumbent lips, and increased lip strain. Treatment includes the extraction of premolars and the mesial movement of the proclined anterior teeth in the extraction spaces to correct the inclination. This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old male patient who presented with class I bimaxillary protrusion and procumbent lips.

Effect of archwire size and lever arm length on anterior and posterior teeth movement during en-masse retraction in personalized lingual orthodontics: A 3-dimensional finite element study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze how different archwire sizes and lever arm lengths affect tooth movement during en-masse retraction in lingual orthodontics.
  • Different archwires with specific dimensions and extra torques were tested, and various lever arm lengths were used to exert a consistent force of 1.5N.
  • Results showed that thicker archwires and longer lever arms improved the control and effectiveness of moving anterior teeth while also influencing the positioning of posterior teeth.

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics adjuvant camouflage therapy for Class III malocclusion: a case report.

BMC Oral Health

November 2024

Department of Orthodontics (WangFuJing Campus), School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, Scylla alley No.11, Beijing, 100006, P. R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Potential risks in orthodontics increase with tooth movement beyond alveolar bone, particularly in patients with a thin bone plate, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and multidisciplinary strategies.
  • - A case report illustrates successful treatment of a 25-year-old man with Class III malocclusion using periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO), involving techniques like molar distalization and mandibular incisor retraction.
  • - The treatment resulted in improved dental alignment, enhanced labial bone thickness, and minimized complications such as bone fenestration and dehiscence, highlighting the effectiveness of PAOO in orthodontic cases.

Objective: To assess the tooth movement trends during the three stages of maxillary dentition distalization with clear aligners (CA) and to compare the efficacy of different mini-screw anchorage systems.

Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) finite element models of three anchorage systems (A, control group; B, buccal mini-screw anchorage group; C, palatal mini-screw anchorage group) were established. Three stages of simulating maxillary dentition distalization with CA included maxillary molar distalization (stage 1), maxillary premolar distalization (stage 2) and maxillary anterior teeth retraction (stage 3).
