Correction of severe deep bite and gummy smile using mini-screw anchorage: A case report
The objectives were to correct deep bite, gummy smile, accentuated overjet, alignment of impacted canine and to achieve adequate overbite and overjet. The treatment involved extraction of maxillary first premolars proceeding with retraction and intrusion of the upper anterior teeth with mini-screw implants as the orthodontic anchorage. After treatment, adequate overbite and overjet and a satisfactory maxillary gingival exposure in the smile were obtained. The mini-screw implant anchorage method is useful for correction of severe overjet and a deep bite with a gummy smile. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Evaluation of Ricketts' and Bolton's growth prediction algorithms embedded in two diagnostic imaging and cephalometric software
Conclusions The three growth prediction algorithms tested indicated to be within a 1.5 mm clinical reference when compared with the actual growth of the same subject studied for the majority of the landmarks assessed, indicating their clinically reference acceptability specially for a two year prediction.

Influence of maxillary incisor level of exposure on the perception of dentofacial aesthetics among orthodontists and laypersons
Conclusion The amount of maxillary incisors exposure at repose significantly affected the perception of dentofacial esthetics where minimal teeth exposure was highly unattractive. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Five-year follow-up of intraoral maxillary distraction with tooth-borne distractor in unilateral cleft lip and palate: A case report
Publication date: Available online 26 July 2015 Source:Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists Author(s): Gargi Sarkar, Ivor Macton D'Souza, Kiran Kumar, Sadashiva Shetty This case report presents long-term treatment stability of a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate who was treated with a modified intraoral tooth-borne distraction appliance. The chief complaints of this 12-year-old patient were poor facial aesthetics, crowding, and forwardly placed lower jaw. Severe maxillary retrognathism was treated via distraction osteogenesis of the maxilla performed using an intraoral tooth-borne applian...

Mesiodistal tip and faciolingual torque outcomes in computer-driven orthodontic appliances
Conclusion Although statistically different, the overall mean discrepancy of the SStarget models to the outcome CBCT were within the clinically acceptable range (±2.5°). The mean outcome discrepancies were found to be statistically significant across several tooth types, but their clinical significance (beyond ±2.5°) was limited to the maxillary and mandibular second molars for tip and the maxillary second molar and mandibular central and lateral incisors for torque. Overall, the tip outcomes were closer to the plan than the torque outcomes for most of the tooth types. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

The stability of orthosurgical Class II treatment in growing patients
Conclusions In cases of patients with mandibular deficiency and marked discrepancy between the maxilla and mandible, orthosurgical treatment can be performed by sagittal split osteotomy and genioplasty with predictable and stable results in female patients who are in the final stage of craniofacial growth and exhibit harmonious growth.

Upper incisor exposure and aging: Perceptions of aesthetics in three age groups
Conclusions Based on the findings from this study, age is an important factor in the perception of the aesthetics of a smile, with younger people preferring a smiles with greater dental exposure and older people preferring less dental exposure.
