This study was conducted to determine the accuracy of bracket placement with the direct bonded technique. Ten orthodontic faculty members bonded a preadjusted orthodontic appliance on models of five cases of malocclusion in a simulated clinical situation (mannequin). A total of 50 sets of models served as the population of the study. Photographs of the models were measured to determine vertical...

The aim of this study was to assess the severity of any underlying malocclusion in subjects presenting for treatment of a palatally impacted canine (PIC) using a modification of the Dental Health Component (DHC) of the Index of Treatment Need (MIOTN), which does not factor in the impacted canine. The pre-treatment study models of 54 subjects who had previously undergone surgical exposure of a P...

BACKGROUND To assess the association of periodontal status of the patients with and without orthodontic treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted among 520 patients (220 undergoing orthodontic procedure and 300 non-orthodontic patients). Periodontal health status was assessed using community periodontal index and loss of attachment. Data were analyzed using SPS...

BACKGROUND In straight wire preadjusted appliances, all the information required to position the teeth in three planes is included in the brackets placed at the midpoint of the facial axis of the clinical crown, defined by facial axis point (FA). Central to this technique is the bracket placement.Preadjusted orthodontic appliances cannot get the right tooth position with a straight wire because...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013009866 DESCRIPTION Orthodontic appliances have a propensity towards loosening, dislodgement or displacement into the surrounding hard and soft tissues. Ingestion or aspiration of orthodontic materials such as brackets, archwires, elastic separators and parts of complex o...

Background: Contemporary orthodontic practice consists of innovative appliances for ease, safe, and quick results. However, the associated potential disadvantages are rarely published. Objective is to publish literature on accidental swallow foreign objects such as or parts fixed in patients. Method: An electronic search was performed PubMed, Medline, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE until ...

This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is used in the orthodontic phase of space closure with or without TAD m...

The goal of this treatment was the surgical- orthodontic rescue of the impacted teeth in a large dentigerous cyst, in a growing patient, by fixed orthodontic appliances. Initial and final records and progress in treatment are shown. The Authors demonstrate that a good result my be reached in this cases even if initial position of the cyst-associated teeth is critical and translocation of an adj...
