Autoclaving and clinical recycling: Effects on mechanical properties of orthodontic wires
Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2012 Background: About half of the orthodontists recycle and reuse orthodontic wires because of their costs. So when talking about reuse and sterilization of wires, their effects on mechanical properties of wires should be clarified. The purpose of this study

3D Structure-guided Network for Tooth Alignment in 2D Photograph [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Orthodontics focuses on rectifying misaligned teeth (i.e., malocclusions), affecting both masticatory function and aesthetics. However, orthodontic treatment often involves complex, lengthy procedures. As such, generating a 2D photograph depicting aligned teeth prior to orthodontic treatment is crucial for effective dentist-patient communication and ...

Comparative Study of NiTi Orthodontic Wires [PDF]
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2015 Abstract In this study, two superelastic NiTi orthodontic wires (0.46 x 0.64 mm 2 ) were analyzed. The determination of phase transformation temperatures along with the identification of the predominant phase at room and intraoral temperatures were accomplished by DSC analysis. Superelastic behavior was analyzed through tensile tests. 3-point bending

The management of obstructive sleep apnea accompanied with mandibular retrognathia across the lifespan from orthodontic perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disease with complex etiology, which requires multidisciplinary cooperation in diagnosis and treatment. Mandibular retrognathia is strongly associated with OSA. Orthodontists can either correct the mandibular retrognathia of pediatric OSA via various kinds of orthodontic appliances, following adenoidectomy and
