Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The latest advancements in diagnosis, planning and treatment approaches of orthodontic therapy based on novel radiodiagnostic devices, planning software and therapeutic procedures have led to a safer and more predictable outcome of orthodontic treatments. Specifically, the development of cone-beam computed tomography, advanced planning software and digital impressions with intraoral scanners have improved the prognosis of orthodontic treatments and reduced the incidence of intraoperative complications with clear aligners, novel alloying materials and indirect bonding techniques applied to the fixed appliance therapies or temporarily anchored devices with orthodontic miniscrews. However, further knowledge on these recent developments is required to have a greater control over the outcomes of orthodontic therapy.

We request all scholars engaged in state-of-the-art research involving any aspect of orthodontic therapy to contribute to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: To investigate the accuracy of an F22 Aligner system, considering the amount of prescribed movement, tooth type, grip points, sex and age. Methods: Digital models of 120 patients (64 females and 56 males; mean age 35.2 years ± 7.4) affected by mild-to-moderate Class I malocclusion and treated via F22 Aligners, retrospectively selected from the University of Ferrara Orthodontics Clinic’s electronic database; post-treatment models were generated, and three angular values per tooth and four linear intra-arch measurements per arch were acquired. For angular measurements, planned (T1) and achieved (T2) values were obtained thorough digital model superimpositions. Linear measurements were acquired from pre-treatment, reference and post-treatment models. Statistical comparisons were performed to assess accuracy among tooth types and prescribed movements, tooth type, grip points, sex and age were investigated via chi-squared automatic interaction detection regression trees. Results: Mean accuracy for inclination and angulation were 86.76% and 88.01%, respectively, whereas rotation was less accurate (61.59%), especially for rounded teeth. All variables investigated influenced accuracy, with the exception of inclination, which was only influenced by age. Regarding linear measurements, good expansive capacity was shown, except for the distance between mandibular second premolars. Conclusions: F22 aligners are a viable solution for the treatment of Class I malocclusion of mild-to-moderate complexity, although clinicians should bear in mind the lower predictability of rotation, as well as the influence of the variables investigated.
