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.

The Oral Yeast Flora: Effect of Upper Removable Orthodontic Appliances

Microbial Ecology in Health & Disease, 2002
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the oral biology of yeasts in children alters in response to presence of an upper removable appliance (URA). Thirty-four normal controls and 34 patients, undergoing removable orthodontic appliance treatment were studied.

Low Tongue Posture Improvement Effect of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Comprehensive Study of Nasal Ventilation Condition Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Dental Arch Morphology

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Oral myofunctional therapy (OMFT) has been proposed as a potential treatment for improving low tongue posture (LTP) and alleviating obstructive sleep apnea. However, its effectiveness remains uncertain. This study aimed to quantify the effects of OMFT on LTP.
