Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the effect of OrthoPulse™, an intra-oral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation device, on orthodontic treatment time. This is a double-blinded RCT with half the patients receiving treatment from a sham non-functional device, serving as controls, and the other half receiving light therapy treatment from a functional OrthoPulse™. Orthodontic treatment time for the sham-control patients are compared to that of the OrthoPulse™ patients.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of OrthoPulse™, an intra-oral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation device, on the rate of anterior orthodontic alignment.
The aim of this study is to determine if extraoral OrthoPulse®, which emits extraoral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation (PBM), reduces the time it takes to complete orthodontic alignment.
This open label study is designed to evaluate the ability of OrthoPulse™ to safely and effectively increase the rate of orthodontic tooth movement with fixed appliances.
An in vivo study evaluating the efficacy of the Tandem appliance in the treatment of maxillary deficiency in growing patients compared to the conventional facemask appliance treatment. Pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms will be taken. Dentofacial, sagittal and vertical skeletal measurements will be taken at three assessment times. Changes within each group will be assessed. In addition, the changes between the two groups will be compared.
The purpose of this study is to use clear aligners to measure tooth movement and length of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to compare the 0.018-inch and 0.022-inch bracket slot systems to determine which is more effective for orthodontic treatment .
The purpose of this study is to compare bonding time, bond survival, amount of adhesive remaining on the tooth surface after bracket debonding, and time required for adhesive remnant cleanup between a new "flash-free" and a conventional adhesive resin for orthodontic bracket bonding.
The present day social setup considers facial charisma as an important physical characteristic. The facial characteristics of an individual are measured through anthropometry, photogrammetry, computer imaging and cephalometric radiographs. Cephalometric radiographs offer significant diagnostic information regarding the association between the dental and skeletal structures. By means of photogrammetric measurements, a fresh diagnostic resource is accessible to the orthodontist which permits an intangible, radiation free attainment of measure points of soft tissue with no instrumental expense and radiation to the patient. Orthodontic patients range from adolescents to senior citizens and originate from an assortment of populations, thus an extensive series of representative norms will be ideal. Knowledge of the normal dentofacial outline of every group will make certain better success of treatment to set up the best possible facial agreement. Hence, it is extremely important to assess the soft tissue profile of a patient as it is one of the most vital components of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the photographic characteristics of soft tissue facial profile of patients with class II malocclusion as ethnic differences have been found to be reported in the literature. It is hypothesized that soft tissue facial characteristics on lateral profile photographs and lateral cephalometric radiographs in a sample of local population with class II malocclusion are closely related.
The purpose of this study is to examine the amount of tooth movement achieved over time between subjects undergoing aligner treatment using a pulsation device known as AcceleDent® Aura with those not using the device.
