The Biomechanics of Clear Aligners associated with temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs)
The treatment with aligners is challenging especially because the overall accuracy of tooth movement is reported to be below 50 %. Moreover, dental anchorage provided by the Clear aligners (CA) is critical due to the third law of physics, where for every force action, there is an equal opposite reaction. CA associated with temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) are an effective treatment protocol for expanding the envelope of movement in complex cases. Extra-alveolar miniscrews associated with CA, are effective for retracting the maxillary (IZC) and mandibular dentition (MBS), while interradicular miniscrews provide ...

An Introduction to the systematic evaluation and management of complex malocclusions
The introductory editorial comment succinctly presents different topics related to complex malocclusions covered in this Seminar in Orthodontics issue to inform clinicians on the adequate path to solve their daily practice challenges. Complex malocclusions should not be underestimated. Many management steps can go sideways and create patient complaints or claims that may raise significant regulatory or legal challenges. Careful steps, multiple interdisciplinary meetings during the planning stage, and continuous interactions within the interdisciplinary team are paramount and a good recipe for success.

Biomechanical and clinical considerations for the correction of Class II anterior open bite
Anterior open bite (AOB) with mild-to-moderate skeletal discrepancies can be camouflaged by an orthodontic tooth movement. Conventional methods can improve occlusal relationships and some profile esthetics, but their mechanics may result in detrimental side effects such as a gummy smile, a high-frequency relapse, and an unfavorable facial profile. The emergence of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) has facilitated the treatment of skeletal Class II AOB through intrusion of the posterior teeth and autorotation of the mandible, improving facial esthetics while minimizing the side effects.

Orthodontic Education in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: Overview of Programs and Challenges
This article aims to provide an overview of currently available orthodontic residency programs in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries against a backdrop of dental education institutions in the region. Studying the history of dental and orthodontic education in the GCC revealed relatively young dental education institutions in the region starting in the latter half of the twentieth century. GCC orthodontic programs are profiled in this article showcasing available programs and sharing descriptive information about their manpower, academic degrees offered and teaching methods.

Temporomandibular disorders – Current concepts
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) is an umbrella term involving a group of conditions that affect masticatory muscles, jaw joints (temporomandibular joints or TMJs), and associated structures.1 TMD are characterized by pain and/or dysfunction, with the three major signs and symptoms being pain in the face (located in the joints or muscles area), limited range of motion, and joint sounds.2 Changes in the structures of the TMJs might also affect the craniofacial morphology.3 (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

Assessment of The Readability of Online Orthodontic Educational Resources Related To ‘Orthodontic Treatment’: A Cross-Sectional Study
In the digital age, the internet has become a primary source for patient education in orthodontics. However, the effectiveness of these online resources largely depends on their readability and comprehensibility. The main aim of our research was to assess the readability of the ten most popular websites dedicated to orthodontic treatment. Additionally, we aimed to ascertain the educational level required to comprehend the information provided on these websites. (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

Is malocclusion associated with jaw dysfunction?
The maxillofacial region is an extremely important region of the body from birth, which is responsible for various functions such as sucking, swallowing, chewing, breathing and pronunciation. It has a complex structure and involves a variety of biological substances from the organ level to the molecular level. Since olden times, clinicians and basic researchers have been interested in the structural changes that occur when function is impaired, and numerous studies have been conducted. Nonetheless, the opposite direction, i.e., how structural disturbances, or malocclusion in orthodontics, affect function, has been less wel...

Temporomandibular disk position after orthognathic surgery: a systematic review
Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure for the correction of dentofacial deformities such as jaw misalignment, malocclusion, and facial asymmetry.1 Orthognathic surgery involves repositioning the maxillary and mandibular bones and adjusting the relationship between the maxilla, mandible, teeth, and facial bones for optimum aesthetics and function.2 (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

Accelerated orthodontics (AO): The past, present and the future
Accelerated orthodontics (AO) is emerging as a revolutionary approach in achieving desired orthodontic results in a shorter timeframe. AO modalities, both invasive and non-invasive promise to bring about rapid orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) transformations through targeted bone remodeling. From micro-osteoperforations facilitating bone remodeling to photobiomodulation enhancing cellular activity, the armamentarium of accelerated orthodontics promises to not only shorten treatment times but also potentially unlock novel therapeutic avenues for complex malocclusions.
