In a group of adolescent children in 9th grade attending a municipal dental health service, a certain amount of orthodontic treatment has been performed. 27% of the children had completed, or were undergoing, orthodontic appliance therapy. 9% of the children had completed extraction therapy only. 4% were recorded as discontinued appliance treatments and 3% as discontinued after extraction of permanent teeth as the only treatment. 21% had no anomalies and no treatment and 36% had a malocclusion but no treatment carried out. The effect of the orthodontic service was studied on the group as a whole according to the frequency and pattern of change in four selected malocclusion symptoms and to the degree of personal satisfaction about dental appearance and any orthodontic appliances. The individuals most satisfied with the results from their orthodontic treatment were found in the three middle socioeconomic groups.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between insomnia and the presence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and its subtypes in orthodontic patients.
Methods: A total of 648 adult orthodontic patients (158 males and 490 females, median age 26) were included and completed a questionnaire containing sociodemographic information, insomnia severity index (ISI), the five major temporomandibular disorder symptoms (5Ts) checklist, and self-reported sleep bruxism. Presence of insomnia and TMD of the included patients was determined according to the diagnostic criteria, and statistical analyses were conducted as appropriate to compare ISI-related scores between TMD and non-TMD participants.

This article outlines the orthodontic treatment of a 21-year-old female patient with an open bite and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) that developed after a severe car accident. The treatment plan utilized temporary anchorage devices (TADs) for upper molar intrusion to correct the open bite without resorting to orthognathic surgery. Over a period of 3 years, the treatment achieved a stable occlusion, normalized molar relationships, and improved esthetics.

Intrusive luxation is one of the most severe types of dental trauma that needs immediate intervention. Various treatment modalities are passive, active, and surgical repositioning performed to prevent healing complications such as root resorption, pulp necrosis, ankylosis, and infraocclusion of the traumatized teeth. This case report discusses a patient with traumatically intruded incisors while undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Introduction: There is a scarcity of studies in which both alveolar bone remodeling and root resorption are simultaneously assessed and compared against possible influencing factors such as rate of retraction and change in inclination. The aim of our study was to assess the changes in the alveolar bone thickness and root length of the maxillary anterior teeth after retraction and correlate it to the potential influencing factors, namely rate of retraction and change in inclination.
Subjects And Methods: Ten patients requiring upper premolar extraction as part of their treatment were included in the study.

Objective: The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of two different penetration depths of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement over 60 days. In addition, the amount of pain and discomfort caused by the MOP was evaluated.
Materials And Methods: A total of 22 patients (18-30 years) who need fixed orthodontic treatment were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups.
