Dimensional changes of upper airway after rapid maxillary expansion evaluated with cone beam computed tomography
Conclusions The RME treatment resulted in significant increase in the transverse width of the nasal cavity, as well as upper and retropalatal airways. However, this effect was not observed for the cross-sectional areas of the upper airway, anterior and posterior facial heights and facial convexity following RME treatment.

Comparative study of the treatment effects of bionator and bite jumping appliances on Class II malocclusions
Conclusions In terms of treatment mechanics, the bionator and BJA are quite different. Therefore, the proper use of each depends on symptoms, sequence of use, and time of initiation of therapy in order to provide the most effective treatment of Class II malocclusions. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

A 2-center comparison of maxillary incisor positioning with non-extraction, 2-maxillary premolar and 4-premolar extractions for Class II treatment
Conclusion Class II treatment conducted non-extraction, with 2-maxillary and with 4-premolar extraction protocols showed similar effects on final maxillary incisors positioning and nasolabial angle. In general, the 4-premolar extraction protocol was potentially more retrusive, but the dentofacial differences were slight and not statistically significant. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Effect of power arm on anterior tooth movement in sliding mechanics analyzed using a three-dimensional digital model
Conclusion Anterior tooth movement during retraction varied with the anatomical parameters of individual patients, even if the same power arm length was employed. The present findings suggest that the height level of the power arm relative to CRe is the most influential factor determining the tooth movement, while the power arm length itself has less impact on subsequent tooth movement. Therefore, it is recommended that an optimal power arm length be calculated back from the location of CRe at the beginning of treatment and treatment progress be monitored using 3D model analysis.
