This reflects their high quality engineering, improved reliability and relative ease of use. However, it might also be related to claims of superior function made by the manufacturers of these appliances. In particular, the Damon® appliance system claims to offer significant advantages to both orthodontist and patient over conventional-ligation and other forms of self-ligated appliances. We have reviewed current literature relating to use of the Damon® appliance system. There is some evidence to suggest this appliance may lead to reductions in chairside time for the orthodontist, particularly those experienced with this system, in comparison to conventional-ligation. However, evidence that pain experi...

The first case describes the treatment of a class II division 1 malocclusion with increased vertical proportions that was treated with upper and lower self-ligating appliances and headgear for anchorage support. The second case describes the use of a Clark Twin-Block appliance, with headgear, followed by non-extraction upper and lower fixed appliances to treat a class II division 1 malocclusion with an overjet of 14 mm.

Several factors that could lead to good outcomes of orthodontic treatment following mandibular incisor extraction were identified. Mild-to-moderate class III malocclusion, an edge-to-edge anterior occlusion or anterior crossbite, with mild anterior mandibular tooth size excess, and minimal open bite tendencies were the clinical situations most frequently treated with this unique extraction choice. On the other hand, clinicians should be careful to avoid poor outcomes such as...

Although the level of evidence is low, there is similarity in the length of time it took to successfully treat anterior crossbites using similar treatment modalities. High level studies are required before definitive conclusions can be made.

Aesthetic colour performance of brackets on the less chromatic and lighter tab was better than that on the more chromatic and dark tab. High translucency of bracket alone did not lead to better aesthetic colour performance.

Firstly, the marketing of appliances is increasingly leading the orthodontist to outsource important aspects of treatment such as wirebending and bracket positioning. Brackets and wires are being presented as the solution to all problems and metaphysical terms such as ‘intelligent design,’ ‘working brackets’ and ‘intelligent wires’ are dominating advertising and reducing the impact of evidence-based treatment approaches. Secondly, the introduction of skeletal anchorage has potentially widened the spectrum of orthodontics, allowing for treatments that could not ...

The aim of the new clinic is to increase patient satisfaction and involvement in the consent and decision making process, as well as optimizing the information given to prospective patients regarding all aspects of this complex elective treatment. Results of a survey of patients attending the clinic found that 80% thought that the information given was ‘just the right amount’ and 96% were satisfied with the new structure. They particularly found it useful to meet a patient who had completed treatment. All of those who attended said that they understood the information given to them and would recommend the clinic to t...

Both cases were investigated post-operatively with CBCT with the aim of identifying the potential cause of the unfavourable split and to establish accurate localization of the condyle in the glenoid fossa following intra-operative attempts at proximal segment control. CBCT should be considered for evaluation of the mandible following an unfavourable split where it is deemed that plain radiographs would not provide adequate information.

While each method may be useful in isolation, the varying presentations of palatal canines ensure that the ability to apply an array of techniques is essential if successful outcomes are to be consistently achieved.

It critiques the current provision of information with reference to research from the decision and behaviour sciences about how people make sense of information when making treatment decisions. Findings: Orthodontists provide a lot of verbal and written information about the ‘facts’ of treatment. This type of information is unlikely to facilitate patients’ decisions about, or adherence with, treatments. There is a paucity of evidence describing how: (1) patients make sense of orthodontic problems and treatments, (2) parents manage decision making about their child’s treatment, and (3) variation in information needs across the lifespan an...

In particular, their use may revolutionize the treatment of anterior openbites through the application of direct molar intrusion. Clinical protocols for mini-implant usage are just beginning to evolve and this paper describes the basis for a new clinical approach and future research, for the orthodontic treatment of anterior openbites.

The first case describes the management of a 12-year-old female with an increased overjet treated using a Dynamax functional appliance followed by fixed appliances. The second case involves the management of a class II division I malocclusion complicated by an unerupted maxillary central incisor and a mandibular first molar of poor prognosis.

Decontamination of new TCDBs prior to initial use is carried out by less than a third of departments. Despite their classification as reusable devices, just over half discard TCDBs after single use. However, among those that do reuse TCDBs, almost all decontaminate them correctly.

Surface treatment with sandblasting followed by plastic conditioner could increase the survival probability. The use of a diamond bur, orthophosphoric etching or hydrofluoric etching cannot be recommended.

Seventy per cent of patients had successful treatment, defined as achieving a positive overjet. However, early treatment does not seem to confer a clinically significant psychosocial benefit.

She presented with a severe Class III skeletal relationship, midfacial hypoplasia and an large anterior open bite. Intraorally, she had severe crowding, a narrow maxilla and lateral posterior crossbites. The patient was treated with a combination of removable and fixed appliances, a transpalatal skeletal distractor and Le Fort I surgery. The extraoral characteristics improved and a good occlusal relationship between maxillary and mandibular teeth was achieved.

There are many reported applications for CBCT in the field of orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, including the localization of impacted teeth and implant site assessment. More recently, by augmenting CBCT volumes of the maxilla, mandible and dentition, a virtual 3D patient can be created, which can allow planning of orthognathic surgery entirely in 3D.

The patient rejected the use of extraoral appliances and future surgical correction; therefore the patient was treated using Class III elastics connected from two mandibular miniscrew implants to an upper removable appliance. The miniscrews were inserted between the permanent canines and first premolars under local anaesthesia. The treatment lasted for 8 months after which favourable correction of the malocclusion was observed. The SNA and ANB angles increased by 3° and the IMPA increased by 4°. This case demonstrates that miniscrews can be a suitable alternative method to extraoral appliances and possibly surgery in mild Class III cases. (Source: Journal of Orth...

Variations were seen between different provider groups, types of treatment funding, levels of operator seniority and geographical regions. Differences were noted particularly in the use of bracket prescription and design, types of molar attachment and anchorage control.

It is, therefore, likely that any future clinical trial to investigate the effect of functional appliance treatment in JIA patients, will need multicentre co-operation to fulfil potential sample size requirements. Clinical signs and symptoms of temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction syndrome were low except for crepitus and click. However, radiographic evidence of condylar erosion was high particularly in the polyarticular group. Use of systemic corticosteroids was prescribed more in polyarticular cases and this is likely to reflect the severity of the disease.

Affected teeth, in particular first permanent molars, are susceptible to dental caries as they are not only more porous but also very sensitive making effective oral hygiene difficult. Affected children require more dental treatment than their unaffected peers while also suffering greater pain and anxiety. Current clinical approaches focus on the placement of contemporary adhesive restorative materials onto the compromised tooth which in turn, fail, leading to premature loss of permanent molars with associated repercussions. Incomplete understanding of the structure, composition and behaviour of affected enamel means that clinical protocols are, as yet, emp...

In most cases, debonding occurred at the adhesive/bracket interface or within the adhesive. Bleaching alters the enamel surface and the resin/enamel interface, but it does not influence bond strength.

Clinicians should favour modules made with injection moulding. Darker colour modules may be preferred to clear modules to avoid excessive colour degradation through dietary media such as beverages and food spices. Patients consuming large amounts of spices or coffee should avoid clear modules made by extrusion processing because of their tendency to discolour.

Demands on academic staff have not reduced but have changed. The resource has had positive effects on postgraduate orthodontic teaching and learning. Important themes of interest emerging from the data are improvements in the flexibility and efficiency of learning and the value of the resource as a repository of information and in the organization of teaching and learning. Despite the popularity of this web based learning resource, trainees continue to value the opportunity to interact face to face with their teachers and peers and are prepared to travel for organized teaching sessions.

This might be of value during orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
