Abstract Background: Current knowledge of orthodontic practice is largely anecdotal and the lack of systematic knowledge can create barriers to better identifying the factors that make a successful orthodontist. The aim of this study was to investigate the routine practising lives of New Zealand orthodontists in order to generate an understanding of the reality of orthodontic specialist practice and its effects on their professional and personal lives. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted involving 19 practising orthodontists (four females, 15 males; mean age 50 years) throughout New Zealand.Transcribed interviews were analysed for themes using an applied grounded theory approach. Results: A core category of ‘practising orthodontists’ was derived, and related themes were grouped under the sub-categories of: (a) NZ orthodontic specialist practice; (b) NZ specialist orthodontists; and (c) work-life balance. The present paper reports on the first two sub-categories. Themes elucidated under the specialist practice sub-category included modernisation, changing social norms, practice arrangement, branch practice, staffing, competition, legislation, advertising, the future and the provision of orthodontics by non-specialists. Themes in the orthodontic specialist sub-category were prior experience, postgraduate training, recent graduates, reasons for specialising, generational differences, females in orthodontics, NZ and overseas practice, the ageing profession and the prospect of an orthodontist shortage. Conclusions: This investigation has shed light on orthodontists and the practice of orthodontics in New Zealand and determined aspects rarely discussed in the current or previous literature. It will be valuable to observe how orthodontists and orthodontic practice continue to evolve in response to changes in NZ society.

ABSTRACT The scope of orthodontics has widened to include not only children and adolescents but also adults, thereby abolishing the upper age limit. With growing esthetic conscience among the society, a great number of young adults are seeking orthodontic treatment primarily for esthetic reasons. They undergo comprehensive orthodontic treatment involving major occlusal changes to get the utmost esthetically pleasing face. The older adults with poor dental conditions requiring perio-restorative treatment undergo adjunctive orthodontic treatment to attain a long-term prognosis. The orthodontist faces challenges to practice adult orthodontics due to various issues being under considerations, which are quite different than routine orthodontic treatment oriented to children and adolescents. This article highlights the difficulties and limitations faced by the orthodontist while practicing adult orthodontics with remedies to overcome them.

Full textAbstract:
Autotransplantation relies on successful interdisciplinary teamwork, utilizing the skills of each team member to optimize the outcome. During treatment planning, orthodontic input is required to determine whether orthodontic treatment is indicated and if a suitable donor tooth will be available. The orthodontist has a role in providing pre-surgical orthodontics to prepare the recipient site for the donor tooth and post-surgical orthodontics to correct the malocclusion fully and achieve the treatment goals. This article will outline the role of the interdisciplinary team members with an emphasis on the orthodontic aspects of treatment planning and the orthodontic treatment components of the autotransplantation pathway. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Orthodontists have a key role in the autotransplantation team for both planning and provision of care. This article provides information for clinicians who wish to refer patients for autotransplantation or provide orthodontic care as part of the interdisciplinary team.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Orthodontics is the most widely practised form of specialist dentistry in New Zealand. To date, no known qualitative research has been published examining the work-life balance of practitioners. The aim of this study was to investigate the working lives and work-life balance of NZ orthodontists in order to generate an understanding of the reality of orthodontic specialist practice and its effects on orthodontists’ professional and personal lives. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted involving 19 practising orthodontists (four females, 15 males; mean age 50 years) from throughout New Zealand and selected for maximum variation in the sample. Transcribed interviews were analysed for themes using an applied grounded theory approach. Results: A core category of ‘practising orthodontist’ was derived, and related themes were grouped under the sub-categories of: (a) NZ orthodontic specialist practice; (b) NZ specialist orthodontists; and (c) Work-life balance. The present paper reports on the final sub-category. Themes emerging from the work-life sub-category were further divided into two sub-themes of ‘work’ and ‘life’. Themes in the ‘work’ sub-group included time off, injuries and illness, regrets, personality traits, job stress and criticism, establishing a practice, peer support and contact, and success in orthodontics. Themes in the ‘life’ sub-group were personal development, family life, life balance and interests outside work, and financial security. Conclusions: This was the first qualitative investigation of the orthodontic profession in New Zealand. The findings provided a valuable insight into the working lives of New Zealand orthodontists and effects on their day-to-day lives. It will be revealing and interesting to observe how the modernisation of orthodontic practice will affect the work-life balance of New Zealand orthodontists in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Eating disorders are relatively common mental health disorders in Western European and North American populations. The peak incidence occurs within the adolescent years, which correlates with the largest orthodontic patient population. The morbidity associated with these psychological conditions is significant, and has a direct impact upon patient well-being, orthodontic outcomes and the success of treatment. Therefore, it is of relevance to the orthodontist to be aware of potential presenting features of these conditions, when and where to seek advice, and how such disorders may impact upon orthodontic outcomes. Methods: Articles published on PUBMED and MEDLINE relevant to orthodontics and eating disorders were reviewed. Key information was extracted, and the relevant evidence for the orthodontist summarised. Results: Eating disorders may present to the orthodontist in specialist or hospital practice, either undiagnosed or as a co-morbidity. Orthodontists may benefit from an appreciation of these potential diagnoses, the orthodontic implications and to have the confidence to refer their patients to the necessary services. Limitations: There is little existing research in this area. Conclusions: These conditions have a significant impact on patient morbidity and mortality. This cohort of patients is not suitable for orthodontic treatment while their disease is active. The impact of a developing eating disorder can adversely affect orthodontic treatment.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of digital information technology and big data technology, the medical industry has also undergone tremendous changes. Traditional medical treatment mainly relies on the technical experience of the attending doctor for treatment, and there is no sophisticated instrument or scientific analysis system to assist in treatment. With the improvement of people’s living standards, people’s attention to teeth has increased significantly. Traditional orthodontics is based on the subjective judgment of orthodontists and manual treatment. Due to the differences in the experience of orthodontists, the traditional orthodontic effect is often very poor. Using digital information and big data technology to carry out quantitative diagnosis and treatment analysis of teeth, 3D modeling, and simulation of prosthesis, personalized treatment of the prosthesis model, and finally applied to orthodontics, digital-based orthodontics make the orthodontic diagnosis and treatment process evidence-based, safer, and more effective. This article compares orthodontics and traditional oral orthodontics based on the mathematical model, to analyze the comfort of orthodontics, the aesthetics of orthodontics, the matching degree of aligners, and the stability of the environment in the periodontal ligament. It is concluded that the average orthodontic comfort based on the mathematical model is 85.6%, and the average aesthetic degree is 64.0%, which are more than 20% better than traditional orthodontics. It is also superior to traditional orthodontics in terms of the degree of matching of the appliance and the stability of the environment in the periodontal ligament. Therefore, the combination of mathematical models and orthodontics can lead to better orthodontic results.

Full textAbstract:
Orthodontic treatment is a common dental treatment. A complete treatment often takes several years and is costly. In order to increase the degree of satisfaction and reduce the gap between the expectations of the patient and the limitations of orthodontics, orthodontists and patients should have sufficient communication. A simulation system can provide a good channel for communication between orthodontists and patients. This paper proposes a 3D dentist–patient communication system for the simulation of orthodontics in advance. The system collects the clinical paradigms of orthodontic cases, which must contain photos from before, during, and after maxillofacial treatment. This research simulates treatment processes by tuning a 3D virtual model of the oral and maxillofacial areas, including the face, mouth, and teeth, to demonstrate the processes of clinical paradigms. These 3D models could be edited and synthesized to generate new 3D models for simulation with the 3DS Max tool. In addition, the proposed system provides a function for the orthodontist to manually operate the 3D virtual model, such as tooth arrangement, morphing of the gums with movement of the teeth, the placement (attachment) of arch-wires and brackets, and changes of facial appearance. The orthodontist can demonstrate the treatment processes, show movements of the teeth, and answer possible questions from the patient about the treatment processes by using the 3D model. To show the effectiveness of the proposed system, a questionnaire about the system was also used to demonstrate its acceptance, usability, and validity. Qualitative interviews with dentists and questionnaires for patients about the system are both performed. The results showed that the proposed system is an effective vehicle for communication between patients and orthodontists.

Full textAbstract:
Despite increasing demand for lingual orthodontics, the technique is not very popular among the orthodontists in general. Lingual orthodontics differs from the conventional labial technique in all aspects. Lack of comprehensive training in this field is a major obstacle in popularizing this science of invisible orthodontics. At present, short-term courses and part-time degree programs are the means to learn this technique and the demand for more comprehensive lingual orthodontic education is on a rise among orthodontists. Lingual orthodontics as a super specialty discipline with full-time residency program can be a step forward. This will groom orthodontists to acquire the finest skills to finish lingual cases but also help to the science to grow with dedicated research work.

Orthodontic aligners are changing the practice of orthodontics. This system of orthodontic appliances is becoming the mainstay appliance of choice for orthodontic offices in many countries. Patient preferences and lifestyle needs have made this appliance the primary choice when seeking care. In the early days, appliances lacked the efficiency and effectiveness of traditional bracket-wire systems, but modern systems are now able to handle a more comprehensive orthodontic caseload. Current systems provide newer biomechanical strategies and artificial intelligence-driven tooth movements for better outcomes. These improvements now mean that an orthodontist can be better prepared to manage a larger number of orthodontic malocclusions. This paper aims to discuss some of the evolution of orthodontic aligners and to describe to orthodontists the fundamentals of aligner therapy. In addition, it will provide an evidence-based outcome to the existing treatment outcomes in the current literature.

The scope for orthodontics increases as recent innovative ideas becomes successfully demonstrated and applied. The emphasis nowadays in on the holistic correction of the face rather than the dentition. In the field of orthodontics new innovations have not only increased the efficiency of an orthodontist to produce better results but at the same time, reduced the treatment duration, thus positively influencing the patient compliance. So it seems a win-win state for both the orthodontist and the patient. New solutions for the old problems have resulted in advancements in orthodontic materials and their cascading effect on appliance design and treatment strategies. This article briefly embraces us about the recent trends being followed by an orthodontist to achieve better results in shorter duration.

AbstractObjective:To perform a blind comparative evaluation of the quality of orthodontic treatment provided by orthodontists and general dentists.Materials and Methods:Sixty cases of orthodontic treatment were evaluated—30 treated by specialists in orthodontics and 30 treated by general dentists with no specialization course. Orthodontists were selected randomly by lots, in a population of 1596 professionals, and recordings were performed based on the guideline established by the Objective Grading System proposed by the American Board of Orthodontics. Each participant was asked to present a case considered representative of the best outcome among the cases treated, regardless of the type or initial severity of the malocclusion. Statistical analysis involved the chi-square, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests. The level of significance was set at P = .05 for the statistical tests.Results:The results showed that 29 orthodontists (96.7%) presented cases considered satisfactory and would be approved on the qualification exam, whereas only 15 dentists (50%) had cases considered satisfactory. Moreover, treatment time was significantly shorter among the orthodontists (P = .022), and the posttreatment comparison revealed that orthodontists achieved better outcomes considering all the variables studied.Conclusions:Orthodontists spend less time on treatment and achieve better quality outcomes than cases treated by general dentists who have not undergone a specialization course in orthodontics.

By correctly repositioning teeth, orthodontic therapy improves both the function and appearance of an occlusion. The relationship between teeth and the tissues that surround and support them significantly influences these alterations. With ever more adults seeking orthodontic care, orthodontists are increasingly seeing patients with periodontal issues. Concerns about the patient’s appearance, such as uneven gingival margins or functional issues caused by inflammatory periodontal diseases, should be accounted for when designing orthodontic treatment plans. Furthermore, orthodontics may increase the chances of saving and recovering a degraded dentition in cases of severe periodontitis. Today, general dentists, dontists, and orthodontists play integrative roles that enable them to achieve the best possible results for their patients. This review will improve the results of interdisciplinary treatments and increase cooperation between dental specialists by drawing attention to the essential connection between orthodontics and periodontics in regular clinical practice.

An excellent orthodontic finishing is the goal of every orthodontist. A clear-cut vision of end goals should set the objectives of any orthodontic treatment sequence. The finishing procedures are considered from the beginning stages of the treatment, as a part of total scheme of treatment. Finishing and detailing is the last step in orthodontic treatment, before active treatment is discontinued. It is to ensure that the teeth and the related structures are positioned in such a way it will lead to a better retention and stability, enhancement of aesthetics, optimized functions of the stomatognathic system and an improvement of the health of the periodontium. Recently, lingual orthodontics is one of the emerging trends for adult patients as it increases their self esteem, so this review article highlights the finishing techniques in lingual orthodontics.

However, ever growing operating costs, greater patient expectations and indictments against orthodontists are few concerns which need to be addressed. Increased information technology skills, three-dimensional image superimposition methods, custom designed treatments, tooth movement control systems, digital models and evidencebased orthodontics will be the new outlook in the next twenty years. Orthodontic research is entering an epoch of exhilaration. Trends, issues and new evolutions can come together in startling ways. Scenarios are the recitals about the future that combine these forces of change in various ways. Genome wide coalition studies are vital to further the evidence base to practice orthodontics in the coming years.

Abstract Introduction: Patients with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) often seek aesthetic medical treatment including orthodontics to correct their perceived physical defects. When the disorder pertains to the dentofacial region, it is important for orthodontists to be familiar with this condition. Objective: The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on BDD and its relationship to orthodontics. Method: PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar databases were searched for publications relating to BDD and orthodontics. Further articles were sourced from the reference lists of the articles identified through the search. Results: The literature recommends that orthodontic patients suspected of having BDD should be referred to a psychiatrist for a definitive diagnosis and subsequent management. However, this may be difficult to implement in clinical practice. Management by a psychiatrist could include pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. There is still debate as to whether orthodontic treatment should be provided for these patients. Conclusion: As health care workers providing aesthetic treatment to patients, orthodontists should be aware of BDD and its implications. Risks include repeated requests for unnecessary treatment, dissatisfaction with the result and thus potential for litigation. BDD still remains a challenge to diagnose, and further research is needed to determine the appropriate management of orthodontic patients suffering from the disorder.

ABSTRACT The fixed orthodontic treatment is not contraindicated in systemic disorders, where orthodontist reveals the diagnosis from medical practitioner and plan the orthodontic treatment, oral hygiene maintenance and necessary prophylaxis. Due to privation of practical guidelines and fear of advancing the contagion, many orthodontist do not treat patient potentially at the risk of developing endocarditis. This review article highlights the sign, symptoms, orthodontic guidelines and prophylaxis modalities for infective endocarditis (IE).

Full textAbstract:
Teleorthodontics, a subset of teledentistry, involves the use of digital communication technologies to provide remote orthodontic care. This approach enables orthodontists to diagnose, monitor and manage patients’ treatment without the need of in person visits. The concept has garnered traction due to advancements in telecommunication technologies, increasing accessibility to smart phones, and the need for remote healthcare services. Despite skepticism, there are several advantages of including tele- orthodontics in the clinical orthodontic practice. This article reviews the strength and weaknesses of this emerging healthcare communication system and its impact on orthodontics, which is set to transform the future of our clinical practice.

Background: Accelerated orthodontics has been receiving increased interest in the global orthodontic community recently, but the knowledge and practice of it is still very limited among orthodontists and the orthodontic patients. Aim: To assess the satisfaction of some Nigerian orthodontic patients with duration of conventional orthodontic treatment, as well as their perception and attitude towards accelerated orthodontics. Materials and Methods: A clinic-based cross-sectional survey of patients at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital between March 2023 and May, 2024. All the 117 patients consisting of 50(42.7%) males and 67(57.3%) females with the age range of 10 to 63 years and mean age of 24.79 + 11.60 (SD) filled and returned the self-administered questionnaire, giving a response rate of 100%. Statistical analysis of the data was done using SPSS IBM 25 and descriptive, chi-square, student’s t-test and ANOVA statistics were employed. The significance level was set at P < .05. Results: Over 64% of the patients expressed satisfaction with the duration of conventional orthodontic treatment without any significant gender differences (P >.05). They generally prefer the non-invasive procedures of accelerated orthodontics to the invasive techniques. Although the patients would want to use non-invasive accelerated orthodontics, cost remains a major limiting factor. Conclusion/Recommendation: High proportion of the patients is satisfied with the duration of conventional orthodontic treatment without gender bias, and some proportion of them would prefer non-invasive accelerated orthodontic procedures but cost is a limiting factor.

Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating matter, measured in the billionths of a nanometer, roughly the size of two or three atoms. It is widely used in our day-today life including its use in medicine and is considered as a vital current technology of the 21st century based on its economic and scientific potential. Its application is being experimented in various domains in orthodontics, from surface coatings to the development of novel materials. Orthodontic materials must have specific characteristics such as biological safety, functionality, and adequate tissue response. They have to pass specific biocompatibility tests to meet regulatory standards. Any material used in oral cavity might encourage unnecessary disturbance due to its complex and varied environment. The nanomaterials have many advantages in the field of orthodontics, especially with improved mechanical and antimicrobial properties. Nanoparticles can easily penetrate tissues and can affect biological behaviours at different levels. The introduction of nanotechnology gives better opportunities to both patient and orthodontist to new physicochemical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of nanosized materials and can be used in coating orthodontic wires, elastomeric ligatures, and brackets, producing shape memory polymers and orthodontic bonding materials. The present review article focuses on the application of nanoparticles in orthodontics. This article presents a brief overview of nanotechnology, types of nanoparticles, biological safety of different nanoparticles used in orthodontics and their applications in the field of dentistry and orthodontics.

Full textAbstract:
Orthodontics is one branch of dentistry which deals with dynamic manipulation and function of the stomatognathic system. Likewise, it has to witness the dynamic changes in its diagnosis method and treatment planning. The field of orthodontics has witnessed many revolutionary techniques and evolved enormously in terms of benefiting the patient. CAD/CAM is one promising methodology that has shown a significant impact in modern dentistry and surpassed some of the challenges an orthodontist has been facing all these years. It has changed the view through which we see the patient’s condition. The application of 3D technology allows the practitioner and patient to utilize virtual treatment planning software to better identify case objectives and visualize treatment outcomes. CAD/CAM has many applications in orthodontics, which include aids for diagnosis and treatment planning, clear aligner treatment, customized lingual appliances, customized brackets with patient-specific torque, machine-milled indirect bonding jigs, robotically bent archwires, indirect bonding systems, customization of orthodontic appliances like distalization appliance etc., Acceleration of orthodontic treatment (OT) has received growing attention in recent years, especially in adult patients.Digital workflow is the current trend in orthodontic practice and has speckled every aspect of orthodontics in terms of documentation, study casts, analysis of dental malocclusion, smile designing, treatment planning and fabrication of orthodontic appliances. The current article aimed to establish a narrative description of the digital workflow and applications of the CAD/CAM process in Orthodontics.

The interdisciplinary relationship between periodontics and orthodontics is a highly demanding, complex clinical need of the time which requires meticulous diagnosis, treatment planning for successful long-term prognosis. The periodontal status of even young patients has been altered so it is of utmost importance that orthodontic patients has to be ruled out suffering from plaque induced gingivitis and compromised periodontal status. It is the role of the orthodontist to screen the disease, make provisional diagnosis and refer to a periodontist for immediate treatment as without periodontal therapy the severity and extent of the disease may progress. So, the orthodontist has a great role in bringing up awareness not only before starting the appliance therapy, but also during and after the active mechanotherapy. This paper has emphasized the potential of orthodontic therapy in improving or degrading periodontal health and so the relevance of periodontal planning prior and during orthodontic treatment.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Orthodontic treatment is the longest dental procedure performed. To accelerate tooth movement, orthodontists and periodontists have developed a new technique, termed Wilckodontics or periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics. This technique combines selective alveolar corticotomy techniques, particulate bone grafts, and orthodontic force. This review aims to discuss the concepts and technique of Wilckodontics as a combination of interdisciplinary treatment. Methods: An internet-based search was conducted to identify various literatures discussing Wilckodontics using several keywords. Results: Wilcko-dontics can accelerate tooth movement in adult patients and shorten treatment time. Compared with conventional orthodontic treatment, this technique shows advantages in terms of treatment cycle and treatment effect. In addition, the Wilckodontics does not increase the risk of root resorption, periodontium injury, and alveolar bone defects. Conclusion: Wilckodontics re-quires various diagnostic parameters and modification of the procedure. With the right synergy of orthodontist and periodon-tist, successful treatment can be achieved.

Orthodontists are increasingly using mini-implants as invaluable treatment adjuncts. They provide independent, stable anchorage in routine cases and, furthermore, their use expands the range of malocclusions treatable by orthodontics. Indeed, the observations of novel clinical changes are beginning to alter long-held views on orthodontic biomechanics and dentoalveolar remodelling. This article will provide insight into how mini-implants are opening new horizons in orthodontics and their relevance to all dental specialists in terms of future treatment planning.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the number and proportions, study design, journal publications, authors and countries involved in orthodontic randomised controlled trials (RCTs) over the past 50 years. Method: A MEDLINE database search (Entrez PubMed, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov ) was performed in November 2018 for RCT publications from 1 January 1968 to 31 December 2017. All orthodontic publications, clinical trials (CTs) or RCTs were selected. For each year from 1968 to 2017, the total number of orthodontic publications and total number of CTs and RCTs were computed. Following this, study design, journal publications, authors and countries involved in orthodontic RCTs were noted. Results: The RCTs accounted for 0.1% of all orthodontic publications in the 1970s and 1980s, and, following this, the proportion of RCTs was increased and amounted to 2.7% over the past decade (2008-2017). The majority of RCTs were of single centre design (93.4%) and in 88.3% a parallel-arm design was performed. The United States and United Kingdom endorsed 16.9% and 15.5% of the RCTs, followed by Turkey (11.1%), Brazil (7.0%), Sweden (6.6%), China (5.6%), Italy (5.4%), and Germany (4.1%). Of all RCTs, 74.2% were published in 20 orthodontic journals and 25.8% in 81 non-orthodontic journals. The American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Angle Orthodontist, European Journal of Orthodontics and Journal of Orthodontics contributed to 60.2% of all the RCTs. Conclusion: The considerable increase in orthodontic RCTs over the past 50 years implies an increased scientific impact of orthodontic literature.

Abstract Objective: To determine the effect of media advertising on consumer perception of orthodontic treatment quality. Materials and Methods: A survey instrument was designed to evaluate factors influencing consumer selection of an orthodontist and consumer perception of different forms of media advertising (radio, television, newspaper, magazine, direct mail, and billboard) by orthodontic practices. The surveys were distributed by eight orthodontic offices in and around the Richmond, Virginia area. The survey return rate was 97%. Results: Respondents most often cited dentist and patient referrals as how they learned of the orthodontic practices they visited (50% to 57%). A caring attitude and good practitioner reputation were the top reasons influencing actual selection of an orthodontist (53% and 49%, respectively). Of respondents, 14% to 24% felt that advertising orthodontists would offer a lower quality of care than nonadvertising orthodontists. Newspaper, magazine, and direct mail advertisements were viewed more favorably than radio, television, and billboard advertisements. Chi-square analyses revealed few statistically significant differences in perception between different income and education groups. Conclusions: The majority of patients do not perceive advertising to reflect poorly on the quality of orthodontic care. However, patients with different income and education levels perceive media advertising differently.

Social media has become increasingly relevant to Orthodontics in several ways. This article highlights how both current and prospective patients may utilize social media to access information about, and voice their experiences of, orthodontic treatment. The applications of this to orthodontic research will also be discussed. Orthodontists should be aware of the role of social media in both education and marketing, as well as the current guidance and best practice in these areas. This knowledge should enable clinicians to maximize the advantages and avoid the pitfalls of social media in day-to-day life. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Clinicians should be aware of the potential impact of social media on education, research, marketing and patients' experiences of treatment.

To assess the understanding, acceptance and compliance of patient undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. A self-designed closed-ended questionnaire of 15 questions, addressing understanding, acceptance and compliance of patient were distributed to 400 adult patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment at MIDSR Dental College, India. Cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted. Before participation in the study consent was taken from every patient. The descriptive statistics was used for evaluation of obtained data. A total of 400 participants responded to the survey. The results shows that patient’s understanding about necessity of treatment, its duration, and treatment plan for fixed orthodontic treatment was 62.2%. The acceptance rate for treatment selection by orthodontist, for wearing retainer and to convince friends or relatives for fixed orthodontic treatment was 53.52% and theywere happy with the treatment. While 69.5% patients were having good compliance for brushing teeth twice daily by using orthodontic toothbrush, for using mouthwash and for modifying diet with the fixed orthodontic treatment. Although many of patients were found to have good understanding of orthodontic therapy but acceptance towards orthodontic treatment and orthodontic treatment protocols was average. Orthodontist still need to work on this aspect to increase the acceptance of treatment among patients. The Compliance of patients was satisfactory as they strictly adhere to dietary restrictions maintained good oral hygiene by using special cleaning aids. The study concludes that the orthodontists need to take an active role in increasing orthodontics-related patient behaviours by improving patient education

Over the past two decades, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have undergone considerable development. There have been various applications in medicine and dentistry. Their application in orthodontics has progressed slowly, despite promising results. The available literature pertaining to the orthodontic applications of AI and ML has not been adequately synthesized and reviewed. This review article provides orthodontists with an overview of AI and ML, along with their applications. It describes state-of-the-art applications in the areas of orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, growth evaluations, and in the prediction of treatment outcomes. AI and ML are powerful tools that can be utilized to overcome some of the clinical problems that orthodontists face daily. With the availability of more data, better AI and ML systems should be expected to be developed that will help orthodontists practice more efficiently and improve the quality of care.

Comfort level of patients to visit an orthodontist based on digital media popularity/reviewsIn our 2-part survey, 2 separate google forms were created to assess the various aspects of practice promotion and sent to Orthodontists and patients separately. Demographic data and informed consent was taken.The survey comprises of two groups: A) Orthodontists (212 participants) B) Patients (200 participants)From the orthodontist’s perspective, patients visit them based on internet popularity. They promote their practice using their own website which is available on Google. Social media is used commonly to promote themselves by posting photos of patients and clinic. Facebook was most used. Orthodontists believe that 15-20% visit them based on internet popularity.From the patients perspective, they choose orthodontists based on popularity on internet with google search being the most used. They review orthodontists on social media on popular sites such as Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter. Word of mouth referrals was the most preferred old school method of finding orthodontists based on experience. With vast improvement in digital technology, youngsters prefer to review orthodontists based on digital media reviews as well. The largest discrepancy found between social media sites used by the patients/ parents and orthodontists was with Facebook and Instagram. This opportunity is being vastly ignored by most orthodontic practices and should be considered as a potential marketing tool for current and prospective patients.

Background: Root resorption is one of the complications of orthodontic treatment, and has a varied and unclear aetiology. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between upper incisor resorption and contact with the incisive canal and the risk of resorption during orthodontic treatment associated with upper incisor retraction and torque control. Search methods: According to PRISMA guidelines, the main research question was defined in PICO. Scientific databases MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for linking keywords: Resorption of roots incisive canal, Resorption of roots nasopalatine canal, Incisive canal retraction and Nasopalatine canal retraction. Selection criteria: No time filters were applied due to the significantly limited number of studies. Publications in the English language were selected. Based on the information provided in the abstracts, articles were selected according to the following criteria: controlled clinical prospective trials and case reports. No randomised clinical trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical prospective trials (CCTs) were found. Articles unrelated to the topic of the planned study were excluded. The literature was reviewed, and the following journals were searched: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, International Orthodontics, Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, Angle Orthodontist, Progress in Orthodontics, Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research, Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics, European Journal of Orthodontics and Korean Journal of Orthodontics. Data collection and analysis: The articles were subjected to risk of bias and quality assessment using the ROBINS-I tool. Results: Four articles with a total of 164 participants were selected. In all studies, differences in root length were observed after contact with the incisive canal, which was statistically significant. Conclusions and implications: The contact of incisor roots with the incisive canal increases the risk of resorption of these roots. IC anatomy should be considered in orthodontic diagnosis using 3D imaging. The risk of resorption complications can be reduced by appropriate planning of the movement and extent of the incisor roots (torque control) and the possible use of incisor brackets with built-in greater angulation.

Malocclusion is the world's third most common oral ailment. The fixed orthodontic procedure is now the most successful treatment strategy for malocclusion. Archwire bending is an important part of orthodontic therapy. However, because to the great stiffness and exceptional flexibility of orthodontic wire, it is a very difficult task. The old method of obtaining the created archwire curve is dependent on manual operation, which would bring various errors induced by human causes. Customised archwires are required in clinics for lingual orthodontics treatment. Previously, only expert orthodontists could physically bend these archwires. This is a pattern demands specialised skill training, precision, and extensive chairside time, but cannot guarantee the accuracy of appliances. So, what are the most recent developments?

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The awareness about orthodontics has lead to drastic increase in many adult & adolescent seeking orthodontic treatment over the past decade. The two major setbacks for non acceptance include visibility of the appliance and the long duration of treatment. To overcome the aboveinvisible braces like - ceramic brackets, lingual brackets came into existence, but could not reduce the treatment time to a greater extent. Later surgical procedures like periodontal distraction, dentoalvelor distraction & inclusion of implant came to play. But involved surgical risk. To overcome these - the invisible braces so called clear aligners came into existence. Clear aligners are a series of clear, removable teeth aligners that orthodontists use as an alternative to traditional metal/ceramic braces. They are more comfortable, kinder to tissues and used for minor orthodontic corrections.

Full textAbstract:
With the advancement of adhesive materials and application techniques, orthodontists can now use these materials for various purposes in their regular practice. The scope, limitations, and effectiveness of using flowable composite in the daily orthodontic practice have been discussed. In comparison to other alternative procedures, this paper highlighted several uses of flowable composite in orthodontics that could save both effort and chairside time, as well as stock. Searching without restrictions has been done by two researchers in different databases like PubMed Central, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, The Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and Research Gate, and hand searching until October 2021. Following data extraction and excluding the duplicated articles, only 19 full-text articles assessed the uses of flowable composite in orthodontics were considered in this review. In conclusion, flowable composites have been used in various conditions either as a major adhesive material for the orthodontic brackets and lingual retainers (with some limitations) or as an auxiliary attachment and bite raising device. New uses have been added to the previous ones to help orthodontists improve their outcomes. Improving this material's physical, mechanical, and biological properties may increase its orthodontic uses in the future. Augmenting the strength and reducing the micro leakage will add more flowable composite to orthodontic bracket adhesive materials.
