Assessment of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures in skeletal Class II patients with different growth patterns
CONCLUSIONS: Although Class I patients displayed significantly greater oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airway volumes, there was no significant difference in respiratory muscle strength or airway function between Class II patients with different growth patterns and the Class I control group. The findings underscore the significance of exploring factors beyond craniofacial growth patterns that may contribute to sleep-related breathing disorders.PMID:38639454 | DOI:10.2319/071723-496.1 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

Long-term skeletodental changes with early and late treatment using modified C-palatal plates in hyperdivergent Class II adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: Early MCPP showed more significant vertical control than late MCPP. However, there was no difference in long-term stability between early and late groups.PMID:38639455 | DOI:10.2319/081123-556.1 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

An in vitro comparison of the dimensional stability of four 3D-printed models under various storage conditions
CONCLUSIONS: Shrinkage of 3D-printed models is pervasive, arising regardless of the material used (PLA or resin) and being independent of the brand or storage conditions. Consequently, immediate utilization of 3D printing for orthodontic appliance purposes may be preferable, with prolonged storage risking the manufacture of inaccurate orthodontic retainers and appliances.PMID:38639456 | DOI:10.2319/081223-557.1 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

Assessment of the quality and accuracy of information contained within the websites of marketed orthodontic products: a cross-sectional investigation
CONCLUSIONS: The quality and accuracy of information contained within the websites of the providers of marketed orthodontic products was poor. The combined use of DISCERN and the accuracy-of-information instrument may help overcome the shortcomings of each. Clinicians should check the accuracy of information on orthodontic product provider websites before adding links to those websites on their own sites.PMID:38639457 | DOI:10.2319/100423-672.1 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

Invisalign Lite: a cross-sectional investigation of orthodontist treatment-planning practices
CONCLUSIONS: More than 7 of 10 patients required at least one additional series of aligners after the initial series of Invisalign Lite aligners was completed. Prescription of IPR was more common in the mandible, and prescription of CR attachments was more common in the maxilla.PMID:38639458 | DOI:10.2319/102223-712.1 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

Effects of eruption guidance appliance in the early treatment of Class III malocclusion
CONCLUSIONS: The eruption guidance appliance produced no change in the skeletal anteroposterior relationship. The anterior cross-bite/edge-to-edge relationship was corrected in only about half of the treated subjects.PMID:38639459 | DOI:10.2319/071223-488 (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)
