The purpose of this study was to examine the use of orthodontic 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology in North America and to understand why orthodontists are, or are not, incorporating 3D printing technology in their practices.

The extraction of second premolars and associated changes in the volume of the airway have not been previously explored. This retrospective study aimed to compare the volumetric changes of the airway preorthodontic and postorthodontic treatment in relevant extraction and control samples and to identify variables that may influence the outcome.

This study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis examining contributing countries and collaborative networks, authors and collaborative relationships, the performance of the institutions, and cocited journals and references in 3 major orthodontic journals (American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, European Journal of Orthodontics, and Angle Orthodontist) over two 10-year periods (2002-2011 and 2012-2021).

In digital dentistry, virtual attachment removal (VAR) optimizes clear aligner therapy by enhancing efficiency for refinements and enabling prefabricated retainer production through the removal of attachments from a digital scan before the clinical removal of clear aligner attachments. This prospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of VAR in the maxillary arch.

Transdifferentiation of chondrocytes into bone cells explains most condylar growth during prenatal and early postnatal stages, but the mechanisms regulating chondrocyte transdifferentiation during late postnatal growth remain unknown. This study aimed to quantify the effects of dietary loading on chondrocyte-derived osteogenesis during late postnatal condylar growth.

This study used digital intraoral scans to evaluate how clear aligner treatment affects occlusal contacts and to determine the influence of sex and age on contact changes. Results were compared with contact changes that occur during fixed appliance therapy.
Adult orthodontics, motivations for treatment, choice, and impact of appliances: A qualitative study
- Ama Johal, Shahad Hatam Damanhuri, Fiorella Colonio-Salazar
Understanding the rationale for adult patients undertaking orthodontic treatment and the impact of appliances on their quality of life has become increasingly important to research efforts and clinical care. This study aimed to understand why adult patients undergo orthodontic treatment and their overall experience with the choice of appliance.

Interproximal reduction (IPR) is a common adjunct to contemporary orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to carry out a quantitative analysis of IPR prescribed in the refinement phases of clear aligner therapy with the Invisalign appliance (Align Technology, San Jose, Calif).

This study aimed to determine and compare the effectiveness of the use of the dual-dimensional archwire and conventional rectangular archwire on tooth movement patterns when combined with various lengths of power arms.

Clear aligner technology based on a machine learning algorithm is currently available for orthodontic treatment. Treatment planning on the basis of 3-dimensional crown, root, and bone imaging is claimed to provide accurate diagnosis and better treatment outcomes for adult patients with complex needs. This study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) would practitioners modify their original treatment plan once provided with the crown, root, and bone view? and (2) does practitioner satisfaction regarding treatment outcomes change once the crown, root, and bone view is provided?

The use of 3-dimensional (3D) printing techniques in fabricating crowns has increased the demand for bracket bonding onto these surfaces. The objective was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded onto 3D-printed crowns using primer-incorporated orthodontic adhesives and 3D printing materials as orthodontic adhesives.

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the performance of 2 artificial intelligence (AI) models, Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer-3.5 (ChatGPT-3.5; OpenAI, San Francisco, Calif) and Google Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (Google Bard; Bard Experiment, Google, Mountain View, Calif), in terms of response accuracy, completeness, generation time, and response length when answering general orthodontic questions.
