Heat-activated nickel-titanium versus conventional nickel-titanium archwire sequences for maxillary anterior alignment: A randomised controlled trial

Objective: To compare the clinical effectiveness of conventional nickel-titanium (NiTi) and heat-activated nickel-titanium (HANT) archwire sequences in terms of anterior alignment, root length, alveolar bone changes and pain. Methods: This was a two-arm parallel randomised contro...

Alveolar bone and maxillary canine root changes after micro-osteoperforation-assisted retraction: a secondary analysis of a split-mouth randomized controlled trial

Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) may increase bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement, but their effects on the maxillary canine root and alveolar bone remain unclear. This study compared CBCT changes between MOP-assisted and conventional canine retraction. This was a sec...
