As the issue of who is best qualified to deliver specialty care continues to percolate throughout society, it becomes more critical than ever before to specify which procedures lead to the best treatment outcomes. Although most academicians knowledgeable about evidence-based practice believe that we might never have high-level evidence for more than 50% of the procedures we currently use, we must strive to make use of what is well known by the research community. For instance, we know a great deal about the stability of orthodontic treatment, and this information is becoming more available to our members as well as the pub...

Orthodontists belong to one of the most rewarding specialties in all of health care. The satisfaction and enjoyment that well-executed orthodontic therapy provides us and our patients surely inspired our application to postdoctoral programs in the first place and fortified us through years of additional education. Yet several years ago, Time magazine predicted that orthodontists will eventually become obsolete. Other analysts seem to agree that the specialty is at risk. Dire predictions notwithstanding, as our specialty encounters the changes of the 21st century, we cannot afford to let professional satisfaction slide into...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Dentists are granted the legal right to serve the public, because the public, represented by its lawmakers, has decided that caregivers with less training might do harm. Laws related to dental practice were devised to protect the patient and the public. Society has different rules and expectations for a profession than for other service groups, since professionals are supposed to be dedicated to serving others. All orthodontists must have an interest in how their specialty is practiced because the public can receive great benefit, or harm, from orthodontic treatment.

Introduction: Many patients experience pain with orthodontics, but there is no widely accepted standard of care for controlling orthodontic pain.

We also examined the contributions of psychological factors and sex to the experience of pain.Methods: The subjects were randomly assigned to group A, 400 mg of ibuprofen 1 hour before separator placement (D1), 3 hours afte...

Conclusions: Our results indicate that the GHR polymorphisms P561T and C422F are associated with mandibular ramus height in Japanese population and suggest that the SNPs of the GHR associated with the Japanese are likely to be different in other ethnic groups. This might partly explain the differing craniofacial morphology among different ethnicities.

Introduction: External apical root resorption (EARR) is a frequent complication of orthodontic treatment.

Conclusions: Skeletal patterns were characterized by maxillary protrusion in the boys with heart disease and by increased ANB angles in the girls without heart disease. The esthetic pattern showed a more pronounced lower lip in the girls without heart disease. However, from a clinical point of view, these were slight and irrelevant alterations. The results suggest that patients suffering from heart disease have similar craniofacial characteristics to those without this condition.

Introduction: One method used to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement is the corticotomy-facilitated (CF) technique. The purposes of this study were to (1) identify the effect of the CF technique on orthodontic tooth movement compared with the standard technique, and (2) explore the histologic basis of the difference between the 2 techniques.Methods: Six dogs, aged 6 to 9 months, were used in this study. Extraction of the maxillary second premolar and miniscrew placement were done bilaterally in the maxilla. On the right side, the corticotomy was performed. The first premolars were distalized against the miniscrews with n...

Conclusions: The skeletonized distal jet appliance supported by additional miniscrew anchorage allows translatory molar distalization. Although the anchorage design combining 2 miniscrews at a paramedian location and the periodontium of 2 anchorage teeth does not offer the quality of stationary anchorage, it achieves greater molar distalization in total sagittal movement than conventional anchorage designs with an acrylic button.

We report the orthodontic treatment of a woman who was congenitally missing teeth 15, 47, and 48. A titanium miniplate was used as anchorage to close the space of the missing premolar by mesial movement of the maxillary posterior teeth into the space of tooth 15. Teeth 16 and 17 were moved 7.4mm mesially, until the proximal contact of tooth 16 with tooth 14 was detected clinically. Good esthetic and dental results were achieved after 34 months of active treatment. Miniplates can be used as orthodontic anchorage to move maxillary molars forward.

Her teeth, especially the mandibular right lateral incisor, canine, and first premolar had ankylosed, and their roots were severely resorbed and fused to the alveolar bone. Orthodontic treatment started at the age of 12 years. The mandibular left first premolar and both maxillary first premolars were extracted to reduce overjet and crowding.

Technological changes affect most areas of our lives, and our orthodontic practices are no different. As these changes mount, orthodontists and their teams have many questions. How can we possibly adapt to these rapid changes? Is now the right time, or should I wait to see what others do who know more than me? Will something better come along? Will I be left behind if I don't jump in now?
