Laterality of Asymmetry in Movements of the Corners of the Mouth during Voluntary Smile.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Displacements of the right and left corners of the mouth during voluntary smile were asymmetric, and the left-sided laterality was found. Also, the laterality of the facedness differed in relation to the hemiface size, but was not related to the handedness. PMID: 19905845 [PubMed - in process] (Source: The Angle Orthodontist)

ABSTRACT This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 10-year-old female patient with a combination of Angle Class III malocclusion, a missing maxillary right lateral incisor, a supernumerary tooth with a short root on the lingual side of the maxillary incisor, a skeletal Class III jaw base relationship caused by a diminutive maxilla, and retroposition of the maxilla. We chose to close the space of the missing tooth, as well as the space created by extraction of the maxillary lateral incisor, by forward movement of the canine and premolars using a maxillary protractor with edgewise appliances. As a result,...

Abstract Much of what is known about Edward Hartley Angle, MD, DDS (1855-1930), the acknowledged "father" of modern orthodontics, has been derived from secondary sources, accounts written by his contemporaries and others. New historical research using primary sources, largely the recently published four-volume sourcebook of Angle's correspondence and business transactions from 1899 to 1910, gives a broad view of the personality, interests, and activities of this prime mover in the evolution of orthodontics. This three-part article highlights aspects of Edward H. Angle's life and persona, based on new findings culled fr...
