  🚨Precision Cuts vs. Buttons: Making the Right Choice in Aligner Therapy🚨 As an orthodontist working with both fixed appliances and aligners, one of the most common clinical decisions faced is: When precision cuts and buttons should be used ? Through understanding of the fundementals of biomechanics in orthodontics, this comparison might help you in your cases: Precision Cuts - ✓ The preferred choice for Class II correction and deep bite cases ✓ Particularly effective for preventing unwanted retroclination ✓ Patient-friendly with no additional bonding required ✓ Biomechanical insight: Functions similarly to applying elastics on rectangular heavy wires in fixed appliances, offering excellent torque control and equally distibuted forces. Buttons - ✓ For combined movements: extrusions, rotations, and significant root control ✓ Requires bonding (which can be a patient compliance consideration) ✓ Delivers direct force application when needed ✓ Biomechanical...

There was no intention originally to produce a new appliance, but the need for one became evident.       The arising concept was to Pre-program suitable treatment into the appliance and therefore the SWA was developed. The built-in features of the SWA guide the teeth along direct vector lines, eliminating jiggling, round-tripping and other excessive movements. Andrews’s philosophy of treatment     A bracket type for each tooth type:       Since within any dentition, teeth differ from each other, therefore, each tooth would require its own bracket.    Measurements of the non-orthodo...

Non radiographic methods for skeletal age assessment

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/        👈🏻 Introduction Every individual matures according to his or her own biological clock. Different authors had reported different methods in an attempt to determine the best indicator of maturity. These include height weight; chronological age sexual maturation , Frontal sinus, biological age or physiological age; Hand-wrist maturity Cervical vertebrae dental eruption; dental calcification stages, and recently biomarkers. Requirement of an ideal maturity indicator Should be safe and non invasive Require minimum radiation Should be accurate Stage of maturity should be well defined Easily identifiable Cost effective Require minimum armanterium Simple to conduct Valid overtime and across age group 1-Biological age or physiological age The physiological age of a person is determined by the degree of maturation of the different tissue syste...
