Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we sought to quantify the influence of vertical control assisted by a temporary anchorage device (TAD) on orthodontic treatment efficacy for skeletal class II patients with a hyperdivergent facial type and probe into the critical factors of profile improvement. METHODS A total of 36 adult patients with skeletal class II and a hyperdivergent facial type were included in this retrospective case-control study. To exclude the effect of sagittal anchorage reinforcement, the patients were divided into two groups: a maxillary maximum anchorage (MMA) group (N = 17), in which TADs were only used to help with anterior tooth retraction, and the MMA with vertical control (MMA + VC) group (N = 19), for which TADs were also used to intrude the maxillary molars and incisors. The treatment outcome was evaluated using dental, skeletal, and soft-tissue-related parameters via a cephalometric analysis and cast superimposition. RESULTS A significant decrease in ANB (P < 0.05 for both groups), the retraction and uprighting of the maxillary and mandibular incisors, and the retraction of protruded upper and lower lips were observed in both groups. Moreover, a significant intrusion of the maxillary molars was observed via the cephalometric analysis (- 1.56 ± 1.52 mm, P < 0.05) and cast superimposition (- 2.25 ± 1.03 mm, P < 0.05) of the MMA + VC group but not the MMA group, which resulted in a remarkable decrease in the mandibular plane angle (- 1.82 ± 1.38°, P < 0.05). The Z angle (15.25 ± 5.30°, P < 0.05) and Chin thickness (- 0.97 ± 0.45°, P < 0.05) also improved dramatically in the MMA + VC group, indicating a better profile and a relaxed mentalis. Multivariate regression showed that the improvement in the soft tissue was closely related to the counterclockwise rotation of the mandible plane (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS TAD-assisted vertical control can achieve intrusion of approximately 2 mm for the upper first molars and induce mandibular counterclockwise rotation of approximately 1.8°. Moreover, it is especially important for patients without sufficient retraction of the upper incisors or a satisfactory chin shape.

Abstract
Background Monocortical mini-screw-type temporary anchorage devices (TADs), or mini-screws, have significantly impacted orthodontic treatment strategies, especially in severe crowding and protrusion cases. These devices offer flexibility in placement sites, but the chosen location can considerably influence tooth displacement patterns. Key factors include the 'line of force' and the biomechanical properties of orthodontic tools. By analyzing tension distribution and three-dimensional displacements, the finite element method (FEM) provides a thorough means to comprehend these patterns. The Curve of Spee (COS) is a crucial factor potentially affecting displacement. Objective This study aimed to leverage finite element analysis (FEA) to understand the impact of varying mini-implant heights (10 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm) on the displacements of different tooth types under a consistent force of 150 gm and compare these displacements both in the presence and absence of the COS. Materials and methods A CAD model of the jaw and teeth was developed using CT scan data and a Rexcan III 3D White Light Scanner. This model was meshed in Altair HyperMesh using tetrahedral elements, resulting in a Finite Element Model. The model incorporated various components, including teeth, the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, brackets, a titanium mini-screw, and an archwire measuring 0.019 x 0.025 inches. Unique material properties were assigned to the PDL, and the assembly accurately replicated the clinical alignment of the archwire and brackets. Subsequently, stress and strain analyses were conducted on the model using the FEM. Results The displacement patterns of various teeth at implant heights of 10 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm under a 150-gm force were analyzed in relation to the COS. Notably, for the central incisor, the COS significantly affected displacements in the Y and Z directions. Similarly, the Lateral Incisor and Canine exhibited marked changes in the Z direction with the presence of the COS. The Second Premolar's apex displacement showed significant variation due to the COS, while the First Molar displayed notable changes in the X direction. Generally, the presence of the COS either maintained or slightly increased Z-directional displacements across teeth, particularly at the apices. Conclusion The presence of COS significantly influences tooth displacement patterns when using mini-screws at different implant heights. Central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines are particularly sensitive to changes in the Z direction with the COS. The biomechanical analysis emphasizes the importance of considering COS in treatment planning for optimal results with mini-implants in orthodontics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient satisfaction with facial appearance at the end of orthodontic camouflage treatment is very important, especially for skeletal malocclusion. This case report highlights the importance of the treatment plan for a patient initially treated with four-premolar-extraction camouflage, despite indications for orthognathic surgery.
CASE SUMMARY A 23-year-old male sought treatment complaining about his unsatisfactory facial appearance. His maxillary first premolars and mandibular second premolars had been extracted, and a fixed appliance had been used to retract his anterior teeth for two years without improvement. He had a convex profile, a gummy smile, lip incompetence, inadequate maxillary incisor inclination, and almost a class I molar relationship. Cephalometric analysis showed severe skeletal class II malocclusion (A point-nasion-B point = 11.5°) with a retrognathic mandible (sella-nasion-B point = 75.9°), a protruded maxilla (sella-nasion-A point = 87.4°), and vertical maxillary excess (upper incisor to palatal plane = 33.2 mm). The excessive lingual inclination of the maxillary incisors (upper incisor to nasion-A point line = -5.5°) was due to previous treatment attempts to compensate for the skeletal class II malocclusion. The patient was successfully retreated with decompensating orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. The maxillary incisors were repositioned and proclined in the alveolar bone, the overjet was increased, and a space was created for orthognathic surgery, including maxillary impaction, anterior maxillary back-setting, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy to correct his skeletal anteroposterior discrepancy. Gingival display was reduced, and lip competence was restored. In addition, the results remained stable after 2 years. The patient was satisfied with his new profile as well as with the functional malocclusion at the end of treatment.
CONCLUSION This case report provides orthodontists a good example of how to treat an adult with severe skeletal class II malocclusion with vertical maxillary excess after an unsatisfactory orthodontic camouflage treatment. Orthodontic and orthognathic treatment can significantly correct a patient’s facial appearance.

Abstract
A 22-year-old woman visited the hospital complaining of lip protrusion, crowded teeth, and a gummy smile. The clinical examination showed a convex profile with a hyperdivergent mandible and a severe gummy smile in both anterior and posterior regions. The unstable mandible position was considered during treatment planning, and a targeted mechanic system was carefully designed. Temporary skeletal anchorage devices in the posterior dental region and a transpalatal arch were introduced as anchorage for the intrusion of the entire maxillary dentition and controlled retraction of the anterior teeth. Based on effective and simple mechanisms, we successfully eliminated the severe gummy smile and improved the facial aesthetics with the aid of conventional appliances. This approach provided an alternative option to orthognathic surgery or bulky invasive miniscrews for treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusion with severe gummy smile.

Abstract
Severe hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusion may be ideally treated with orthognathic surgery in adult patients. Here, we report a camouflage treatment of a 23-year-old female patient. She was diagnosed with a skeletal Class II malocclusion with extreme high mandibular plane angle, retrusive mandible, steep posterior occlusal plane, anterior open bite, and severe overjet. The treatment plan included extraction of all second premolars and intrusion of the maxillary anterior teeth and mandibular posterior teeth using miniscrews. These contributed to an effective counterclockwise rotation of the mandible, decreased lower face height, and improvement in anterior overbite. This case report shows a vertical control strategy on severe hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusions, which achieves well-controlled sagittal and vertical dimensions and a favorable facial appearance. The treatment and retention results were well balanced and aesthetically pleasing.

Abstract
Objectives This study introduced a three-dimensional (3D) surface-to-surface matching technique to evaluate the mandibular symmetry of teenagers and adults with unilateral second molar scissor bite. Methods The targets came from 73 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images with unilateral second molar scissor bite, including teenagers (n = 30) and adults (n = 43). 73 images without scissor bite and matched in sex and age were selected as controls. The scans were developed into 3D mandible models and seven mandibular functional unit models, including condylar process (Co), coronoid process (Cr), mandibular ramus (Ra), mandibular angle (Ma), alveolar process (Ap), mandibular body (Mb) and chin process (Ch). The surface-to-surface matching technique was introduced. 3D deviation analysis and matching percentages calculation were performed and compared to evaluate the symmetry of the mandible. Results Comparisons were made between the study samples and control samples. For teenagers, the matching percentages of the entire mandible (55.31 ± 7.24%), Mb (69.04 ± 9.22%) and Co (65.19 ± 10.67%) in the study group were lower than that of the entire mandible (60.87 ± 6.38%) (P <0.01), Mb (75.0 ± 8.71%) (P <0.05) and Co (70.25 ± 8.20%) (P <0.05) in the control group. While Ap, Ra, Ch, Cr and Ma showed no statistically significant differences (P >0.05). For adults, the matching percentages of the entire mandible (48.88 ± 9.77%), Ap (65.83 ± 11.21%), Mb (64.43 ± 12.03%), Ch (79.17 ± 10.29%), Ra (64.11 ± 9.84%) and Co (61.08 ± 11.64%) in the study group were lower than the entire mandible (59.28 ± 5.49%) (P <0.01), Ap (73.65 ± 9.10%) (P <0.01), Mb (71.66 ± 8.40%) (P <0.01), Ch (83.86 ± 5.59%) (P <0.05), Ra (68.54 ± 7.87%) (P <0.05) and Co (66.20 ± 10.62%) (P <0.05) of the control group. Only Cr and Ma showed no statistically significant differences (P >0.05). Conclusion Mandibular asymmetry was observed in both teenagers and adults with unilateral second molar scissor bite. Moreover, compared with teenagers, more mandibular units of adult patients were affected. Clinical significance Based on the surface-to-surface matching technique, the symmetric and morphological information of the mandible can be converted into visual color maps and quantitative descriptions. This method can bring convenience to the study of the growth of mandible, orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery design.

Abstract
Background: One of the procedures enhancing implants stability can be photobiomodulation. Objective: To assess the effect of a 635 nm wavelength on orthodontic microscrews stability, survival rate, and an individual patient's pain score. Materials and methods: The study was done with 15 subjects, 30 orthodontic microscrews with a length of 10 mm and diameter 1.4 mm. Implants inserted on the right and left side of the maxilla. The implants in the test group (G1) were irradiated with the laser at palatal and buccal part of peri-implant area (two points). The diode laser (SmartM PRO; Lasotronix, Warsaw, Poland) was used with the following settings: power: 100 mW, spot size: 0.5 cm2, mean power density (irradiance): 200 mW/cm2, in continuous wave (CW) mode, energy per point: 4 J, radiant exposure: 8 J/cm2, time per point: 40 sec, the total energy dose (radiant energy) per session: 8 J in contact mode, handpiece diameter: 8 mm. Laser sessions: day of surgery and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 30 days later. Cumulative radiant energy was 59 J. Periotest appliance was used to assess the microscrews stability at day of surgery and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 30, 60 days later. Each patient received a survey for individual pain assessment (NRS-11) promptly after the implantation. Results: The analysis after 60 days revealed significantly higher secondary stability for the laser-irradiated microscrews group in comparison with control implants (G2 group) (p = 0.0037). We observed significantly higher stability in the experimental group compared with the control after 30 days (p = 0.0218). Moreover, we noted significantly higher microimplants stability for the control group in comparison with the test group, 9 days after implantation (p = 0.0374). Laser application had no effect on pain reduction noted in the first day in comparison with the control sites (p = 0.6690). No microscrews were lost in the study. Conclusions: Application of a 635 nm laser on peri-implant soft tissue increased the microscrews stability after 30 and 60 days.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the long-term stability of vertical control in hyperdivergent patients treated with temporary anchorage devices. The sample included 20 hyperdivergent patients without anterior open bite. The temporary anchorage devices were used to intrude the upper incisor and molars for vertical control. Lateral cephalograms were established prior to treatment, immediately after treatment, and during retention. The upper molars and incisors were intruded by 1.33 mm and 1.41 mm after treatment (P<0.05). U6-PP increased by 0.11 mm and 0.23 mm during the first and second stages of retention (P>0.05). U1-PP was found to possess a significant extrusion of 1.2 mm during the first stage (P<0.05), which increased by 0.68 mm during the second stage (P>0.05). The mandibular plane angle (MP-SN) decreased by 2.58 degrees following treatment, and underwent a relapse of 0.51 degree and 0.42 degree during the first and second stages of retention respectively (P>0.05). No significant soft tissue changes occurred, with the exception of increased upper lip length during the second stage (P<0.05). Maxillary anterior and posterior intrusions, counter clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane, and improved profiles can be successfully achieved following treatment with vertical control. During the first stage of retention (less than three years), intruded molars and incisors both exhibited some extrusion, and molars had better long-term stability than incisors. During the second stage of retention (three to six years), the therapeutic effects appeared stable, with the exception of some increase in upper lip length. Rotated mandibular plane remained stable during the entire retention period.

Abstract
A 20-year-old woman visited the office complaining of a gummy smile and lip protrusion. She was diagnosed with vertical maxillary excess without open bite and skeletal Class II hyperdivergent pattern. She refused the surgical-orthodontic treatment option, although she wanted to correct the gummy smile and retruded chin. Differential intrusion of anterior and posterior teeth in both arches was necessary to maximize the skeletal treatment effects. In the maxilla, one palatal temporary anchorage device (TAD), an archwire with an accentuated curve of Spee, and a transpalatal arch were applied. In the mandible, an archwire with a reverse curve of Spee and two vertically positioned TADs were used. These simple mechanics contributed to the effective intrusion of the total upper and lower arches, correction of the gummy smile, and mandibular counterclockwise rotation, offering an alternative to orthognathic surgery for this patient.
