  Orthodontic treatment often involves the extraction of teeth to create space for proper alignment. However, closing the extraction spaces can be challenging, and different techniques have been developed to achieve this goal. This study compared two such techniques: en masse retraction (ER) and two-step retraction (TSR).

 En masse retraction involves moving all the teeth in the extraction space as a single unit, while two-step retraction involves moving the posterior teeth first and then the anterior teeth. The study aimed to determine which technique was more effective in closing extraction spaces in adult patients. 

 The study found that both ER and TSR were effective in closing extraction spaces, with no significant differences in the amount of incisor retraction or anchorage loss of molars between the two methods. However, both methods resulted in some movement of the posterior segment, and incisors moved more than molars during space closure. 

 The study challenges the belief that TSR is more effective in preventing anchorage loss and suggests that using ER should be considered for closing extraction spaces unless anterior crowding is present. Additional anchorage reinforcement may be required if more retraction of the anterior teeth is needed. The study also found that changes in incisor and molar tipping were similar, with the crowns showing more movement than the apex. This finding suggests that clinicians should be aware of the potential for crown tipping during space closure and take steps to minimize it. 

 Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of different techniques for closing extraction spaces in orthodontic treatment. Clinicians can use this information to make informed decisions about which technique to use based on the specific needs of each patient.t.

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...

The Concept of the Straight Wire Appliance in Orthodontics

  if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/        👈🏻 The occlusion research (study of the non-orthodontic normals) had been launched to get a better understanding of occlusion and how it was related to the buccolabial surfaces of the crowns. 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...
