- An opaque model resin cannot be used in a clear aligner printing accuracy studyby Nearchos C. Panayi on 01/04/2023 at 12:00 am
I have read the article by Boyer et al (Boyer RA, Kasper FK, English JD, Jacob HB. Effect of print orientation on the dimensional accuracy of orthodontic aligners printed 3-dimensionally. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021;160:732-742). The authors investigated the effect of print orientation on the dimensional accuracy of 3-dimensional printed orthodontic aligners. They printed aligners in different angulations to evaluate their printing accuracy. The method that was used to investigate their hypothesis was technologically advanced.

- Improving the currency of orthodontic evidenceby Bita Fathipour, Greg J. Huang, Nikolaos Pandis on 01/04/2023 at 12:00 am
High-quality systematic reviews (SRs) are a cornerstone of evidence-based clinical decision-making.1 SRs are performed to identify and synthesize the best evidence on a particular clinical question and help identify gaps in our current knowledge. Over the past 2 decades, methods for conducting and reporting SRs have improved significantly.2-4 Although the methodology to conduct SRs is now well developed, less improvement has been achieved with another essential component of our evidence base—its currency.
- Broken trustby Peter M. Greco on 01/04/2023 at 12:00 am
Elena is a 14-year-old daughter of immigrants of meager means and needs orthodontic correction. The family travels from afar to see you because they trust you implicitly. She translates your directives for her parents, who are not yet adept at communicating in your language. Unfortunately, the distal of the rotated mandibular left second molar remains covered with gingival tissue. Your attempt to place bonded brackets has failed twice because of the opposing occlusion. So you identify an oral surgeon near Elena’s home and prescribe an operculectomy to avail the tooth for future banding.

Artificial intelligence remote monitoring of clear aligner therapy has recently gained popularity. It uses deep learning algorithms on a patient’s mobile smartphone to determine readiness to progress to the next aligner (ie, GO vs NO-GO) and identify areas in which the teeth are not tracking with the clear aligners. This study aimed to assess the repeatability of the Go or No-Go instructions provided by the application and to determine the 3-dimensional discrepancies that constitute an unseat.

In invisible orthodontics, attachments are used with aligners to better control tooth movement. However, to what extent the geometry of the attachment can affect the biomechanical properties of the aligner is unknown. This study aimed to determine the biomechanical effect of attachment geometry on orthodontic force and moment using 3-dimensional finite element analysis.

- Different biomechanical effects of clear aligners in closing maxillary and mandibular extraction spaces: Finite element analysisby Jun-qi Liu, Guan-yin Zhu, Yi-gan Wang, Bo Zhang, Ke Yao, Zhi-he Zhao on 22/03/2023 at 12:00 am
Compared with fixed treatments, clear aligners (CAs) have the advantages of comfort, esthetics, and hygiene, and are popular among patients and orthodontists. However, CAs exhibit control deficiencies in extraction patients because of insufficient root control and retention effects. These deficiencies can magnify biomechanical differences in bimaxillary dentition, further causing different orthodontic requirements between maxillary and mandibular dentition. This study aimed to elaborate on the biomechanical characteristics of bimaxillary dentition in extraction space closure and provided feasible biomechanical compensation strategies for use in clinical practice.
- Evaluation of stresses and displacement in the craniofacial region as a reaction to bone-anchored maxillary protraction in conjugation with posterior bite plane and rapid maxillary expansion in patients with Class III malocclusion: A finite element analysis studyby Tarulatha R. Shyagali, Rahul Patidar, Abhishek Gupta, Shanya Kapoor, Anil Tiwari on 21/03/2023 at 12:00 am
Treating a Class III malocclusion is often challenging for orthodontists. Bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) is known for achieving a significant maxillary protraction.

- Finite element analysis of the biomechanical effect of clear aligners in extraction space closure under different anchorage controlsby Guan-yin Zhu, Bo Zhang, Ke Yao, Wen-xin Lu, Jia-jia Peng, Yu Shen, Zhi-he Zhao on 15/02/2023 at 12:00 am
Clear aligners (CAs) have attracted increasing attention from patients and orthodontists because of their excellent esthetics and comfort. However, treating tooth extraction patients with CAs is difficult because their biomechanical effects are more complicated than those of traditional appliances. This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical effect of CAs in extraction space closure under different anchorage controls, including moderate, direct strong, and indirect strong anchorage. It could provide several new cognitions for anchorage control with CAs through finite element analysis, further directing clinical practice.
- A conundrum: Part 2by Laurance Jerrold on 13/02/2023 at 12:00 am
Well, they told me not to do it. Several decades ago, when I started on the speaking circuit, I was warned against asking for audience participation as part of my presentation; the reason was simple. If the audience doesn’t participate, your talk flops. I was told the same thing regarding writing; don’t ask your readers to respond because if they don’t, well, as Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits sang back in 1965: “Second verse, same as the first!”
