Introduction: This study evaluated the dentoskeletal effects of miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction, which included a mandibular anchorage bar and a night facemask in adolescents.
Methods: A total of 20 growing patients with Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency were treated with a hybrid hyrax expander with 2 miniscrews in the maxilla and a mandibular anchor bar supported in 2 miniscrews in the anterior region of the mandible. Class III elastics were used from the maxillary first molars to the mandibular anchorage bar, joining the mandibular miniscrews installed between permanent incisors and canines.

Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the dento-skeletal changes observed in growing Class III patients treated with the Face Mask Protocol (FMP) with and without Bite Block (BB).
Materials: Thirty subjects (12 f, 18 m) who underwent FM/BB therapy were compared to a matched group (FM) of 29 patients (15 f, 14 m) treated without BB. All patients were evaluated before treatment (T0), at the end of active treatment (T1), and at a post-pubertal follow-up observation (T2).

This case report describes the successful orthodontic management of a 25-year-old female patient presenting with Class II Division 2 malocclusion, moderate maxillary anterior crowding, and a missing mandibular left first molar. Treatment plan involved extraction of two maxillary first premolars to address crowding and protraction of two mandibular left molars, combined with the strategic use of mini-implants for precise tooth movement control. Ridge-split surgery was adopted to manage alveolar ridge resorption in the edentulous area.

Objective: In Class II elastics treatment, the mandible is subject to sustained protraction. The study aimed to investigate the morphological and histological changes resulting from sustained mandibular protraction, through establishment of a novel model in rat.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, including the 50 and 100 cN protraction groups, and the control.

Objective: To analyse the biomechanics of molar protraction through clear aligner therapy (CAT) with and without a buccal cantilever.
Methods: Models were composed of mandible, lower dentition, periodontal ligaments, attachments, a buccal cantilever, and clear aligner. Four groups were designed: (1) control (aligner only), (2) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal class II traction, (3) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal class II and lingual class II tractions, (4) aligner+buccal cantilever with buccal horizontal traction named buccal class I, buccal class II, and lingual class II tractions.
