Influence of Different Preactivation Patterns and Aligner Materials on the Capability of Aligners to Induce Palatal Root Torque of Upper Incisors: An In Vitro Biomechanical Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Previous studies have demonstrated that aligners with labial‐cervical pressure points can induce root movement, but with initial unwanted tipping. This study assessed the impact of palatal‐incisal pressure points on improving root movement and reducing initial offset.

Changes in oral microbiota due to orthodontic appliances: a systematic review

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2018
Background: Oral microbiota has been at the center of cultural attention in recent years. In daily clinical practice, orthodontic appliances may be associated with an increased cariogenic risk and a worsening of preexisting periodontal diseases ...

Transformer-Based Tooth Alignment Prediction With Occlusion And Collision Constraints [PDF]

arXiv
The planning of digital orthodontic treatment requires providing tooth alignment, which not only consumes a lot of time and labor to determine manually but also relays clinical experiences heavily. In this work, we proposed a lightweight tooth alignment neural network based on Swin-transformer.

Periodontal considerations during orthodontic intrusion and extrusion in healthy and reduced periodontium

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract In patients with advanced periodontal disease, pathological tooth migration may occur, which may require subsequent orthodontic treatment for both aesthetic and functional purposes. When planning orthodontic treatment mechanics, intrusive or extrusive forces are frequently indicated.

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.
