Background: To evaluate the difference in root resorption between standard torque self-ligating brackets and high torque self-ligating brackets in bimaxillary protrusion patients after orthodontic treatment.
Methods: Pre-treatment and post-treatment Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 32 patients (16 treated with the high torque DamonQ 0.022″ bracket and 16 with the 0.022″ standard torque self-ligating bracket) were selected. The first premolars were extracted from all patients before treatment. After mini-screw implants were inserted into the buccal region between the second premolar and first molar, 150 g of force was applied to retract the upper and lower anterior teeth to close the extraction space on each side. CBCT images of all patients were taken before and after treatment. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor and canine was conducted with Mimics 20.0 software. The volumes of the roots were calculated using Gomagics Studio 12.0 software. The differences between the pre-treatment and post-treatment root volumes were statistically evaluated with a paired-samples t-test.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in root resorption degree between the two kinds of torque brackets. The patient's degree of root resorption in the high torque self-ligating group was greater than that in the standard torque group.
Conclusions: There was no significant difference in root external apical resorption between the high torque self-ligating brackets and the standard torque self-ligating brackets in bimaxillary protrusion patients.

Background: Proper torque control is crucial to the outcome of orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to employ finite element analysis to compare the torque capabilities of a novel spherical self-ligating bracket with a lock-hook system against those of commonly used passive self-ligating and conventional bracket systems, as well as to reveal the biomechanical changes in the periodontal ligament (PDL) during torque expression.
Methods: A maxillary right central incisor, along with its PDL and alveolar bone, were modeled.

Article Synopsis
- This in vitro study assessed how effectively torque is expressed in orthodontic brackets when it's placed in either the bracket slot or the bracket base, taking into account different archwire shapes (rectangular vs. rhomboid).
- Using a printed maxillary model and three types of brackets, the researchers gathered 105 torque measurements to analyze the differences in torque expression across various setups.
- Results indicated that the self-ligating bracket with torque in the slot (Damon Ultima™) was more effective in expressing torque compared to the one with torque in the base (Damon Q2™), while archwire shape did not significantly impact torque outcomes.
Orthodontic Retreatment of an Adult Bimaxillary Protrusion Patient With Lingual Appliances and Premolar Extractions: A Case Report.

Orthodontic relapse and the demand for improved esthetics often necessitate retreatment in adult patients. This case report highlights the successful management of an adult female patient with bimaxillary protrusion, previously treated with a non-extraction approach. Treatment included lingual passive self-ligating appliances, premolar extractions, and mini-screws to reinforce anchorage.
