Patient perspective post-orthognathic surgery.
Patient satisfaction; Dentistry, Operative
The aim of the study is to determine factors contributing to satisfaction with orthognathic surgery. It was hypothesized that specific factors contribute to the patient's perception of success. 37 patients who had orthodontic/orthognathic surgery...

Interproximal reducation in conjunction with plastic aligner therapy : a retrospective pilot study.
Malocclusion--Treatment
Background: For more than 10 years, Invisalign has been a treatment alternative to traditional bands and brackets for the treatment of malocclusion. In order to relieve crowding in the dentition, interproximal reduction (IPR) or stripping is often...

A cross sectional analysis of the relationship between childhood obesity and craniofacial dimensions in a population receiving orthodontic treatment.
Obesity in children; Obesity in adolescence; Orthodontics
The purpose of this study was to determine if obesity impacts craniofacial dimensions in adolescent and teenage subjects. Twenty-one cephalometric measurements were selected as a basis for comparison between normal weight, overweight and obese...

Comparative linear accuracy and reliability of cone beam CT derived 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional images constructed using an orthodontic volumetric rendering program.
Teeth--Radiography
The purpose of this project was to compare the accuracy and reliability of linear measurements made on 2D projections and 3D reconstructions using Dolphin 3D software (Chatsworth, CA) as compared to direct measurements made on human skulls. The...
