Relationship between pre-treatment orthodontic case complexities and their treatment outcomes
ConclusionMalocclusion complexity was not associated with orthodontic treatment outcomes. Cases which underwent two-phase treatment were found to have the most complex pre-treatment malocclusion and also the most unsatisfactory clinical outcomes. The OGS component with the highest discrepancies was buccolingual inclinations. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Analysis of craniofacial character of glucose transporter type I deficiency syndrome
In this study, we investigated craniofacial features as well as orthodontic treatment outcomes of patients with glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS), which is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. Cross sectional study was performed using 9 GLUT1-DS patients, aged from 8 to 49 years old. All of the participants underwent intraoral and radiographic examinations. Lateral cephalogram measurement was performed for investigating possible craniofacial features in GLUT1-DS patients. Most of them showed skeletal discrepancy with large overjet. Some patients had a history of trauma to their maxillary incisor(s). In...

Treatment of concomitant geminated and fused maxillary central incisors: A 5-year follow-up
This report describes the rare case of a 9-year-old boy with two dental anomalies, a geminated maxillary right central incisor and a fused maxillary left central incisor. The treatment plan included extraction of the geminated central incisor, and endodontic treatment and surgical separation of the fused central incisor. The correction of the smile was obtained by orthodontic movement of the mesial half of the fused tooth through the midpalatal suture and subsequent aesthetic and prosthetic rehabilitation procedures. A multidisciplinary approach was essential for the proper planning of complex cases to achieve the best res...

Influence of orthodontic appliances on visual attention to smiling faces by eye-tracking evaluation
Publication date: Available online 28 September 2019Source: Orthodontic WavesAuthor(s): Yoshiko Matsumura, Kazuhito AraiAbstractThe influence of wearing orthodontic appliances on visual attention to smiling faces is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate how laypeople viewed a frontal posed smiling face with orthodontic appliances compared with orthodontists. Frontal posed smiling facial photographs of 10 female models without an appliance or wearing clear tray, ceramic, or metal appliances were taken, and areas of interest (AOIs) for the eyes, nose, and mouth were determined. Visual attention fr...

Evaluating the relationship between dimensions of the upper airway and facial profile according to initial lateral cephalometric radiography in orthodontic patients in the north of Iran
ConclusionThere was not any significant relation between decreased upper airway ratios and types of the soft or hard tissue facial profile convexity, however there was a significant relation between upper airway ratios and age subgroups. A significant revers correlation was seen between the mandibular plane angle and nasopharyngeal dimensions. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Acoustic pharyngometry vs lateral cephalometry: A comparative evaluation of pharyngeal airway dimensions in patients with skeletal class I and skeletal class II malocclusion
ConclusionThe null hypothesis is rejected as there is significant difference in airway dimensions in skeletal class I and class II subjects and there is a positive correlation in airway parameters as recorded on lateral cephalogram and acoustic pharyngometer. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Reliability of Beta-angle in different anteroposterior and vertical combinations of malocclusions
ConclusionsThis three dimensional study interprets the stability of Beta angle irrespective of the difference in craniofacial morphology and growth pattern. Beta angle showed a strong correlation with ANB thus, can be used interchangeably in diagnosis of skeletal malocclusion. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Positional factors affecting the bond failure rates in orthodontic treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionClinicians should more care, especially when operating in the mandibular region and posterior segment. However, there is no difference between the left and right arch in terms of the loss of the bracket. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)
