Maintaining the treatment results following orthodontic treatment is one of the most important aspects of the entire orthodontic treatment process. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the uses of Hawley and clear overlay orthodontic retainers relative to changes in overjet, overbite, intermolar width, intercanine width, and arch length measurements. These measurements w...

Successful treatment of anterior openbite malocclusion is considered one of the most challenging areas in orthodontics. This study was designed to evaluate the treatment effects of the multiloop edgewise archwire therapy in openbite correction and to investigate the stability of correction during a 2-year follow-up period. The subjects consisted of 55 white patients who presented with anterior ...

AIM Eruption guidance appliance (Occlus-o-Guide) is recommended for early orthodontic treatment or prevention of malocclusions. The aim of this work is to review the literature about the use of eruption guidance appliance and to evaluate its effects during the treatment of Class II division I malocclusion, increased overbite, increased overjet, and anterior crowding. The aims of the eruption gu...

This study evaluated cephalometric differences between 113 Japanese (43 males and 70 females, aged 14.1 ± 5 years) and 106 European subjects (36 males and 70 females, aged 13.5 ± 7.3 years) using two compound angular measurements and their single components: the overbite depth indicator (ODI) for the assessment of vertical skeletal relationships and the antero-posterior dysplasia indicator (APD...

A 17 years old male patient presented with impacted mandibular right canine and partially erupted left canine, overjet of 0.5mm 100% overbite. He was treated fixed orthodontic treatment disimpaction using skeletal anchorage in maxillary arch to avoid undesirable effects on dentition. Pre-treatment post records were taken evaluate the changes.
