ChiTuBox

-
  I wanted to share a quick demo video showcasing how easy it is to import 3D objects into  ChiTuBox  and highlight some of its user-friendly features. The video demonstrates: Simple drag-and-drop importing  of 3D models (STL, OBJ, etc.) Intuitive interface  for positioning, scaling, and preparing models Efficient slicing  with customizable settings for optimal print quality ChiTuBox streamlines the workflow, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced users. Let me know if you’d like any additional details or a walkthrough of specific features—I’d be happy to help!

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/     👈🏻 Device assisted approach : 1) Direct electric current effect on tooth movment: - It's a mechanism passed on applying electric current on different sites during the orthodontic treatment to generate local response & accelerate the bone remodeling. - Pressure site -->   anode is placed - Tension site -->   cathode is placed Disadvantages : The bulkiness of the device and its irritation to the patient is the main drawback, so to overcome this -->   Studies where made to invent a  BIOCATALYTIC FUEL CELL to generate electricity intraorally using enzymes and glucose as fuel. -It's placed on the gingiva near the alveolar bone. -Small in size / minimal tissue injury Disadvantages : - Short  lifetime - Poor power density   2)Cyclic force device effect on tooth movement : Nishimura et al in 2008 , used a Ni-Ti...

Understanding Orthodontic Case Complexity for Aligner Treatment Success

-
Image
    if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/     👈🏻 Assessing the complexity of orthodontic cases is a critical step in ensuring successful aligner treatments. By identifying potential challenges early, dentists can set realistic expectations, minimize refinements, and improve patient satisfaction. This blog explores a systematic approach to evaluating case complexity, treatment predictability, and contraindications for clear aligners. Why Assess Case Complexity? Aligners excel in certain orthodontic corrections but are less predictable for complex movements. A thorough assessment helps: Identify refinement potential  – Plan for additional aligner sets if needed. Optimize treatment plans  – Overengineer movements prone to undercorrection. Avoid unpredictable outcomes  – Modify plans to prioritize achievable results. Enhance patient communication  – Align expectations with...

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/       👈🏻 Arch sequencing depends on : 1-   Archwire Types 2-   Archwire Functions 3-   Archwire Sequencing according to cases (where different situations requires sequences ) 4-   Pain associated with Archwire placement and activation  INTRODUCTION        A successful orthodontic therapy depends not only on manual skills and knowledge of treatment steps but also on knowledge and choice of materials used. One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices comprising a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, which is used as an anchorage for correcting irregularities in the position of teeth . Therefore, the aim of the this assignment   was to focus on the differences in the features of wires as well a...

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/        👈🏻 Class II Division 2 (definition) : Acc. To Angle’s Classification It is when the buccal groove of the 1 st Mandibular molar occludes distal to mesio-buccal cusp of 1 st maxillary molar with retroclination of maxillary central incisors. Acc. To British Standards classification (Incisor relationship) The lower incisors edgs occlude posteriorly to the   cingulum plateau of the upper incisors &   the lower centrals are retruded (due to lack of stops) Sub-types Type A : Maxillary centrals and      laterals are retroclined. Type B : Maxillary Laterals overlapping the retroclined centrals . Type C : Maxillary centrals and laterals areretroclined and are overlapped by max. canines.   Criteria Extra Oral features : - Shape of head : Brachycephalic - Facial Profile : Convex...
