Relationship between malocclusion, orthodontic treatment, and tooth wear.
29 Sep 2009 
INTRODUCTION: Although the association between orthodontic treatment and dental health has been studied previously, no studies have hitherto investigated whether the need for, or the receipt of, orthodontic treatment leads to differences in tooth ... Read more...
Three-dimensional orthodontic force measurements.
29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Until recently, much of the orthodontic biomechanics literature was restricted to 2-dimensional experimental studies and, more recently, to assumption-based 3-dimensional computer modeling. There is little evidence in the literature ... Read more...
29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The present report describes a new type of corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment called Speedy orthodontics, which allows faster movements of the dental segments using skeletal anchorage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To minimize the risk of ... Read more...
