  Introduction: Class III malocclusion is a common dental issue that affects the alignment of the teeth and jaws. It is characterized by the lower jaw protruding forward, causing the lower teeth to overlap the upper teeth. Anterior crossbite is another dental issue that occurs when the upper front teeth are positioned behind the lower front teeth. Both of these issues can cause discomfort, difficulty chewing, and aesthetic concerns. Traditional orthodontic treatments for these issues involve the use of braces, but aligners have become an increasingly popular alternative due to their convenience and effectiveness. This case report aims to demonstrate the successful use of aligners for correcting Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. Methods: The patient in this case report was a 23-year-old female with Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. She was treated with clear aligners over a period of 18 months. The aligners were custom-made using 3D digital models of the

  The article "Effects of Maxillary Arch Expansion: A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews" provides a comprehensive overview of the craniofacial effects of maxillary expansion. The authors conducted a systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to summarize and critically appraise the available evidence concerning maxillary expansion treatment effects. The authors identified 16 systematic reviews and meta-analyses that met their inclusion criteria. These studies evaluated the effects of maxillary expansion on various outcomes, including the transverse dimension of the maxillary and mandibular arches, mid-palatal suture, facial soft tissue, root resorption, periodontal health, circummaxillary sutures, nasal airway, TMJ, obstructive sleep apnea, and more. Overall, the authors found that maxillary expansion is an effective treatment for correcting transverse maxillary deficiency in both children and adults. The treatment can lead to significant increases in a

  This study aimed to analyze the various skeletal and dental components of deep bite malocclusion and their contributions to the problem. The researchers conducted a thorough analysis of all deep bite components to lead to more individualized treatment planning and mechanotherapy. The study found that an exaggerated curve of Spee and a decreased gonial angle were the greatest contributing components to deep bite malocclusion. The study analyzed 60 patients with deep bite malocclusion, and their cephalometric radiographs were used to measure the skeletal and dental components. The researchers measured the gonial angle, mandibular plane angle, maxillary and mandibular incisor inclinations, overbite, overjet, and curve of Spee. The results showed that the gonial angle was the highest contributing skeletal factor to a deep bite, and the exaggerated curve of Spee had the highest contributing dental component. The study also found that the lingual inclinations of the maxillary and

    The article discusses a study that compared the clinical outcomes of Invisalign and conventional fixed appliance therapies in adult patients with severe deep overbite. The study included 50 patients in each group and found that both treatments were effective in correcting overbite, but Invisalign may be preferable for patients with high angle and deep overbite.     The study also found significant differences in two postcephalometric linear measurements between the two groups. However, the study had a retrospective design, and the results should be viewed with caution. The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Invisalign and conventional fixed appliance therapy in treating patients with a severe deep overbite.     The study included 100 adult patients with a severe deep overbite, with 50 patients receiving Invisalign therapy and 50 patients receiving conventional fixed appliance therapy. The study found that both treatments were effective in correcting overbite, but Invisalig

The treatment objectives were achieved, and the patient's facial profile and occlusion were significantly improved.    The post-treatment records showed acceptable root parallelism, and there were no significant signs of bone or root resorption. The patient had a stable occlusion at the 12-month retention examination. The article highlights the use of TSADs in orthodontic treatment, which has become increasingly popular in recent years. These d

One of the challenges of orthodontic treatment is maintaining proper anchorage, or the ability to keep certain teeth in place while others are being moved. In this study, researchers aimed to compare the effectiveness of two different fixed appliance systems in maintaining maxillary first molar anchorage during orthodontic treatment.    The study included 74 orthodontic patients who had undergone bilateral maxillary premolar extractions. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either a 0.018-inch or a 0.022-inch slot MBT bracket system.    The maxillary first molars were used as the anchor teeth, and the researchers measured the amount of anchorage loss in each group over the course of treatment. The results of the study showed t
