The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the stability of treatment outcomes of adult anterior open bite (AOpB) cases, treated non-surgically, using a conservative approach with lingual orthodontics (LO). Thirty-nine adult AOpB patients consecutively treated by one operator (SG), with Ormco™ Generation 7 LO brackets and a conservative treatment protocol, with or without extractions...

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an adult patient, who presented a Angle Class II, Division 2, malocclusion, with overbite, severe curve of Spee, right maxillary lateral incisor proclined and gengival recessions. The patient was treated with extraction of the first premolars and maximum anchorage control. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and ...

AIM This study is aimed at investigating the prevalence of disorders among patients referred to Tabriz Dental School in 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was conducted in a cross-section method and taken from all patients admitted during this period.

INTRODUCTION Although there are numerous studies in the literature on alignment stability in the lower arch, there are few referring to the upper arch. AIMS To assess upper arch stability (irregularity index, widths and length of arch, overjet and overbite) in orthodontically treated patients by comparing late incisor stability with the initial malocclusion and type pf treatment undertaken. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term stability of corrected deep bite and mandibular anterior crowding in a sample of 62 subjects (30 patients and 32 controls). The patients began treatment at a mean age of 12.2 years (SD 1.56). The treatment consisted of non-extraction and fixed appliances in 23 subjects and functional appliances in seven. The treatment group was compared with t...

A study was conducted to investigate the condylar path angle in relation to Angle's classification, amount of overbite and subjective symptoms. The condylar path angle in Angle's Class I group was similar to that in the Class II group. The angle in the Class III group was smaller than in the other two classes. A tendency for the angle to decrease as the amount of overbite became smaller was obs...
