Comparative Study of Mini-implants versus Standard Implants in Orthodontic Anchorage for Space Closure.

Background: In order to obtain satisfactory treatment outcomes, orthodontic space closure frequently requires trustworthy anchoring devices. Because they are easier to install and smaller than regular implants, mini-implants have become a viable option. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of regular implants versus mini-implants as orthodontic anchoring devices for closing gaps in a tertiary care context.

Evaluation of Pain and Discomfort Associated with Orthodontic Adjustments.

Background: Orthodontic treatment is commonly associated with pain and discomfort, impacting patient experience and treatment compliance. Understanding the factors influencing pain perception is crucial for improving pain management strategies during orthodontic adjustments.

Methods: Pain levels were assessed using a " (VAS)" before and after each adjustment session.

Assessment of Orthodontic Retention Protocols and their Effects on Treatment Stability.

Background: Orthodontic retention protocols are crucial for maintaining treatment stability post-orthodontic treatment. However, the optimal retention strategy remains debated.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patient records from a tertiary orthodontic center over 5 years was conducted.

Long-term Outcomes of Traditional Braces versus Invisalign in Orthodontic Treatment.

Objective: This research targets to compare the longstanding outcomes of traditional braces versus Invisalign in orthodontic treatment, focusing on dental alignment, occlusal stability, patient satisfaction, and treatment duration.

Methods: A retrospective cohort research with 200 subjects was piloted. One hundred subjects received traditional braces, while the other 100 received Invisalign.
