OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) for total arch distalization in adult patients with Class II malocclusion and compare the findings with those of cervical pull headgear. METHODS The study sample consisted of the lateral cephalograms of 44 adult patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion, including 22...

The purpose of the research was to analyze premolar and canine anchorage loss observed during maxillary molars distalization in subjects with Class II malocclusion treated clear aligners. A total 49 (27 females, 22 males, mean age 14.9 ± 6 years) derived from Department Orthodontics University Rome “Tor Vergata” were selected according following inclusion criteria: Caucasian ancestry, I or mino...

Tibial tubercle osteotomy is a well-described treatment option for a variety of patellofemoral disorders. Many techniques have evolved since its inception, including combinations of anteriorization, medialization, and distalization of the tibial tubercle. Although differing in their indications and end goal destination of the tubercle, these techniques share the challenging technical demands of...

Distalization with temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is commonly used to resolve crowding and correct molar relationships in non-extraction cases. The purpose of this study was quantify the treatment effects post-treatment stability total arch distalization TADs adults thereby elucidate clinical effect modality. subjects were 39 adult orthodontic patients treated TADs. Lateral cephalograms den...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the treatment effects of distalization of the maxillary and mandibular molars using microscrew implants. The success rate and clinical considerations in the use of the microscrew implants were also evaluated. Thirteen patients who had undergone distalization of the posterior teeth using forces applied against microscrew implants were selected. Among the...

Growing class III patients with maxillary deficiency may be treated with a maxillary protraction facemask. Because the force generated by this appliance is applied to the teeth, the inevitable mesial migration of the dentition can result in anterior crowding, incisor proclination and a possible need for subsequent extraction therapy. The Hybrid Hyrax appliance, anchored on mini-implants in the ...

Background: Lower molar distalization is considered to be one of the most difficult movements obtain with clear aligners. The aim this study was evaluate possibility distalize lower molars using aligners in adults without miniscrews. Material and methods: rx cephalograms 16 patients (8 males, 8 females; mean age 25.6 years), who underwent distalization, were analyzed. Cephalograms taken before ...
