Bonded retainers maintain a high-standard orthodontic treatment outcome long term
Conclusion A “high standard orthodontic treatment outcome” could be maintained 10 years post-treatment by keeping the bonded retainers in both the upper and lower arches. Orthodontic patients expect the aesthetics to be maintained over time. The results from this study, that bonded lingual retainers maintain the orthodontic treatment result for 10 years, are valuable information for the clinician when giving the patients advice and recommendations regarding retainer maintenance.

Treatment effects of Forsus fatigue resistant device on class II malocclusion cases: A cephalometric evaluation
Conclusions Based on the treatment protocol used in this study, Class II malocclusion correction was achieved mainly by dental changes in the mandible in the form of mandibular incisor proclination and some skeletal changes in the maxilla. Whether the changes in the maxilla were true skeletal changes remains to be verified. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Skeletal growth changes in Class II subjects treated with slow palatal expansion
Conclusions The investigated treatment protocol reduced the overjet and overbite with maintaining the original growth pattern in the treated individuals, they did not show any change in the overall mandibular rate of growth when compared to the control group during the observation period.

A new, no-compliance class II correction strategy using nickel-titanium coil-springs
Conclusion Class II springs appear to be a simple, fast, and effective alternative approach to Class II correction, facilitating mandibular growth even in noncompliant patients. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

The effect of orthodontic adhesive and bracket-base design in adhesive remnant index on enamel
Conclusion Varying the bracket base and adhesive may result in different ARI scores, which can affect the enamel surface during debonding. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Management of cleidocranial dysplasia
Conclusions To obtain an accurate treatment plan for patients with cleidocranial dysplasia, we recommend using cone-beam computed tomography to evaluate the supernumerary and impacted teeth, to observe the development of the permanent teeth, and to make the correct decision about which teeth to extract.

Rapid maxillary expansion on the permanent teeth versus the deciduous teeth: Comparison of skeletal and dentoalveolar effects by volumetric tomography
Conclusions RME treatment significantly increased palatal volume. RME anchored on the permanent teeth determined greater dental intermolar width variation and a significant difference in decompensation of the lower molars. RME anchored on the deciduous teeth was more effective in increasing skeletal intermolar width and inclination of the first molars. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Multidisciplinary management of cleidocranial dysplasia
Conclusion Orthodontic treatment brought all of the teeth on the arches, and the patient was able to sustain orthognathic surgery to correct the skeletal open bite and Class III relationship. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Influences of lymphoid tissues on facial pattern
Conclusion(s) The results suggest that postpharyngeal lymphoid tissues might have partly specific, but partly indiscernible, effects on craniofacial growth. This finding must be considered when making an orthodontic diagnosis in patients at cervical vertebral maturation stage 2 or 3. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Predominant dental and skeletal components associated with open-bite malocclusion
Conclusions Increased total anterior facial height, mandibular clockwise rotation, and increased maxillary posterior alveolar and basal heights were the predominant features of open-bite malocclusion influencing over bite. The inclination of the lower incisors was significantly decreased, indicating dentoalveolar adaptation to the backward rotation of the mandible.

Temporomandibular joint measurements in normal occlusion: A three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography analysis

Mini-implants for the management of a gummy smile
Publication date: June 2013 Source:Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists, Volume 2, Issue 2 Author(s): Carlos Alberto Estevanell Tavares , Susiane Allgayer , José Cícero Dinato This case report describes the treatment of a skeletal Class I malocclusion with a convex profile, involving a gummy smile with incompetent lips. The maxillary incisors were intruded and retracted with a nickel-titanium closed-coil spring anchored to a mini-implant, which were placed in the maxillary posterior and anterior areas. Mini-implants changed the left canine and molar relationship from Class II to Class I and resolved th...
