Malocclusion’s negative impact is not only limited to dentofacial appearance but also related to quality of life. Nowadays, orthodontic treatment can be done using conventional fixed appliances, or removable appliances called clear aligners. The preference for orthodontic appliances can be affected by several factors, including patient characteristics, self-perception, psychosocial, and oral-disorder factors. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting the preference for orthodontic appliances among undergraduate students in West Jakarta. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 244 undergraduate students were retrieved by purposive sampling from 7 universities located in West Jakarta. A self-administered questionnaire was used to …

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of en-masse retraction with maximum anchorage on the lip length, lip strain, and interlabial gap in adult female patients with bimaxillary protrusion. Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients underwent initial records including photographs, study casts, and cephalometric x-rays. En-masse retraction was performed using friction mechanics, with the use of temporary anchorage devices and power chains after the extraction of first premolars. The soft tissue was analyzed using lateral cephalometric radiographs before and after retraction. Results: The results showed that en-masse retraction had a significant effect on reducing lip strain, increasing …

10-Minute Ebd: Frenectomy Or No Frenectomy To Close Diastema For Children?, Polina Fubareva Dmd, Chelsea Schultz Dmd, Taylar Rowe Dds
The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association
In this "10-Minute EBD" column, the authors explore a clinical question utilizing the evidence-based dentistry (EBD) process within orthodontic practice. The study aims to address whether frenectomy or no frenectomy is more effective in achieving successful closure of maxillary diastema in children undergoing orthodontic treatment with a high maxillary anterior labial frenum attachment. Employing a PICO question framework, the authors examined relevant literature through PubMed and Google Scholar, identifying five pertinent articles. The compiled evidence, which included systematic reviews, randomized control trials, and a retrospective cohort study published between 2013 and 2022, suggests that frenectomy, combined with orthodontic treatment, is …
