Shi Lili, Xu Bowen, Wang Rui
To compare the skeletal, dentoalveolar, soft‐tissue, and treatment‐burden effects of skeletal anterior traction (SAT) versus fixed anterior traction (FAT) in growing patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, ...

Chae‐Won Yun, Seorin Jeong, Sung‐Hoon Lim et al.
Introduction: Maxillary molar distalization is widely used for space gain and anterior retraction. However, gingival recession may occur around the maxillary second molar following distalization, and the tooth movement factors associated...

Xiaoyu Qin, Zhenyuan Zhang, Ruoxin Du et al.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate posterior tooth height and mandibular ramus height in skeletal Class II hyperdivergent patients using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to assess their associations with the hyper...

Kiyoshi Tai, Mo Hyeon Lee, Seiji Lida et al.
Introduction: The three‐dimensional (3D) facial soft tissue response to premolar extraction remains unclear, particularly in relation to vertical skeletal changes. Methods: Thirty‐three adult women who underwent orthodontic treatment wit...
