A assimetria facial é uma condição capaz de comprometer a função oclusal e as interações sociais e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Nessas condições, para se obter oclusão estável e melhora significativa na estética facial, o tratamento ortodôntico-cirúrgico pode estar indicado. A simulação virtual da cirurgia permite planejar de forma adequada, e antecipada, os movimentos cirúrgicos a serem efetuados na maxila, mandíbula e mento. Esses movimentos são,...

Since its first edition in 1996, the DPJO has been publishing an interview with professionals who have significantly contributed to our area. Our purpose is to create a permanent record of these personalities. The interview with Dr. William Proffit began its preparation in July, but unfortunately the questions that were carefully prepared by our interviewers were never answered. On the morning of September 30th, 2018, Dr. William Proffit passed away and the orthodontic world was in mourning.
Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption is a common unwanted side effect when performing orthodontic tooth movement. Genetic characteristics, biological factors and orthodontic treatment techniques can affect the degree and amount of root resorption. Mechanical factors in orthodontic treatment can be controlled by the clinician. These include the duration of force application, the amount of force applied and the type of orthodontic force. There is agreement in the literature...
It was with great joy that I accepted the invitation from the Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics to coordinate an interview with Dr. Jeffrey Okeson. I have known Dr. Okeson for over 14 years. All started when I had the fantastic opportunity to be one of his residents for 3 years, and ever since, he has been my mentor and my friend. Dr. Jeffrey Okeson, despite of being a very famous and tremendously talented professional, continues to be an extremely nice and simple person. Due to these and...
Objective: Considering that the available studies on prevalence of malocclusions are local or national-based, this study aimed to pool data to determine the distribution of malocclusion traits worldwide in mixed and permanent dentitions. Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar search engines, to retrieve data on malocclusion prevalence for both mixed and permanent dentitions, up to December 2016. Results: Out of 2,977 retrieved studies, 53 were...
Case report: young adult woman with esthetic complaints regarding her smile and frontal teeth aspect. At first glance, the problem seemed to be only the shape of the lateral upper incisors and a small diastema between the central incisors. The diagnosis shared between the orthodontist and the prosthetist led us to consider some other important aspects, such as the deep bite, the teeth inclination and the lips support. All these findings led us to consider that the right way to improve the...
