Accurate segmentation of the jaw (ie, mandible and maxilla) and the teeth in cone beam
computed tomography (CBCT) scans is essential for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment …

Introduction The extraction of maxillary first premolars is usually the treatment of choice to
resolve crowding, alveolar protrusion, or Class II malocclusion. The demand for a lingual …

A clear aligner is an esthetic and more comfortable option for patients who need orthodontic
treatment. However, some types of tooth movement, such as extrusion, are difficult with this …

Orthodontic tooth movement is of interest to both the medical and the engineering
communities. Recent studies focused their attention mainly on the stress distribution within …

The accumulation of dental plaque on a tooth surface plays a crucial role in developing
dental caries. In this paper, fluorescence imaging modality with structured light-based …

Numerical simulation of long-term orthodontic tooth movement based on Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) could help clinicians to plan more efficient and mechanically sound …

Objective: To compare the three-dimensional (3D) effects of canine traction on the maxillary
teeth when using two different traction methods, the continuous and the segmented arch …

Class II malocclusion is a very common condition in orthodontic patients. The reaction force
and moment on the teeth induced by a maxillary segmental distalizer (MSD) are essential for …

Introduction This study aimed to clarify the effect of power arm length combined with
additional torque incorporated into the archwire on the controlled movement of the anterior …

Objectives The current study aims to explore the stress distribution along the roots of
palatally positioned maxillary canines during orthodontic movement using a novel …
