Purpose This study aimed to compare the acceptability of removable acrylic appliances (RA) and Invisalign First (IF) clear aligners (Aligntech, USA) among children undergoing orthodontic treatment during the mixed dentition period, considering the severity of malocclusions. Methods A total of 40 patients, aged 6 to 13 years, were recruited for the study. Malocclusion severity was evaluated using the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need-Dental Health Component (IOTN-DHC). Patients completed the "Acceptance of Orthodontic Appliance Scale (AOAS)" via a face-to-face Google survey. To assess the reliability of the AOAS, the survey was resent to five patients after three months for a second response, and reliability analysis was conducted. Additionally, inter-rater reliability was evaluated by having all patients independently assessed by a second researcher. Data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results Although no significant difference was found in IOTN-DHC scores, the IF group demonstrated significantly higher AOAS scores compared to the RA group ( p = 0.014). Survey responses revealed noticeable distinctions between groups regarding speaking discomfort, preference for orthodontic appliances, and facial appearance comfort. A negative correlation ( r = -0.477, p = 0.034) was observed between malocclusion severity and appliance acceptance. Clinical significance This study underscores the significant superiority and advantage of IF over RA among pediatric orthodontic patients during the mixed dentition period. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12903-024-05059-y.

ObjectiveTo investigate the biomechanical effects of maxillary orthodontic treatment on different alveolar bone grafting positions loaded with occlusal forces in an unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patient.MethodsFinite element analysis was employed to simulate clinical scenarios more accurately by loading with occlusal forces on 8 bone-grafted models during maxillary orthodontic treatment. Displacement and von Mises stress pattern during maxillary protraction, expansion, and combined protraction and expansion were analyzed.ResultsThe seven bone-grafted models exhibited significantly smaller horizontal displacements at the non-cleft side landmarks during maxillary protraction and expansion compared to non-bone grafted models. Additionally, alveolar cleft bone grafted in the upper 1/3 and middle 1/3 exhibited greater asymmetry displacement and stress under maxillary protraction and expansion.ConclusionThe study highlights the necessity of considering occlusal forces in finite element study on orthodontic therapies for UCLP patients. The upper 1/3 and middle 1/3 bone graft conditions may require secondary bone graft supplementation to ensure the effectiveness of maxillary orthodontic treatment.

The effectiveness of a series of optically transparent aligners for orthodontic treatments depends on the anchoring of each tooth. In contrast with the roots, the crowns’ positions and orientations are measurable with intraoral scans, thus avoiding any X-ray dose. Exemplified by two patients, we demonstrate that three-dimensional crown movements could be determined with micrometer precision by registering weekly intraoral scans. The data show the movement and orientation changes in the individual crowns of the upper and lower jaws as a result of the forces generated by the series of aligners. During the first weeks, the canines and incisors were more affected than the premolars and molars. We detected overall tooth movement of up to about 1 mm during a nine-week active treatment. The data on these orthodontic treatments indicate the extent to which actual tooth movement lags behind the treatment plan, as represented by the aligner shapes. The proposed procedure can not only be used to quantify the clinical outcome of the therapy, but also to improve future planning of orthodontic treatments for each specific patient. This study should be treated with caution because only two cases were investigated, and the approach should be applied to a reasonably large cohort to reach strong conclusions regarding the efficiency and efficacy of this therapeutic approach.
