Influence of vertical skeletal pattern on cortical and alveolar bone thickness and root spacing in the anterior maxilla assessed by cone beam computed tomography
ConclusionPlacement of TADs in hyper-divergent subjects should be performed with caution. The suitable site for TADs in the anterior maxilla was between the lateral incisor and canine in all vertical skeletal patterns. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Estimation of tooth agenesis risks between tooth types in orthodontic patients with non-syndromic oligodontia
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2019Source: Orthodontic WavesAuthor(s): Ayaka Sato, Kazuhito AraiAbstractOligodontia, a severe type of hypodontia generally characterized as tooth agenesis of six or more permanent teeth excluding third molars, is known to have a multifactorial etiology and the characteristics of orthodontic patients are not fully understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the risks of tooth agenesis between tooth types of permanent dentition in orthodontic patients with non-syndromic oligodontia. Panoramic radiographs of 292 orthodontic patients (184 females and 108 males) were ob...

Lingual orthodontic treatment of a bidentoalveolar protrusion case with multi-slotted brackets and preformed straight archwires
Publication date: Available online 7 March 2019Source: Orthodontic WavesAuthor(s): Ryoon-Ki Hong, Seung-Min Lim, Jang-Hoon AhnAbstractA 23-year-old female patient with lip protrusion and crowding received lingual orthodontic treatment with multi-slotted brackets and preformed straight archwires. After 5 months of alignment and leveling, anterior retraction was performed for 21 months. Final detailing took five months. The appliances were removed 31 months after the start of treatment. With these multi-slotted lingual brackets, treatment progressed in the simplest and most effective way and board-standard fin...

Long term stability of treatment outcome after fixed orthodontic treatment with or without premolar extraction
ConclusionThere was significant relapse in the alignment of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth with a change in Little’s irregularity score, intercanine width and ABO scores from post-treatment to post-retention. The comparison of relapse in extraction and non-extraction groups did not show significant differences from T1 to T2. Therefore, similar relapse may be expected irrespective of treatment plan.

Orthodontic intervention to a patient injured in a traffic accident
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2018Source: Orthodontic WavesAuthor(s): Mai Fujimoto, Yuichiro Otsuka, Naoto SudaAbstractThis case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 29-year-old male who lost the maxillary bilateral central incisors as a result of a traffic accident. After emergency treatment for facial fracture by a plastic surgeon, the patient visited our orthodontic clinic. He had a concave profile, Class I molar relationship with slight maxillary retrusion, and crossbite of the maxillary bilateral lateral incisors. The interdental space was insufficient for prosthetic treatment of the missin...
