Orthodontics Highlights

Matheus Melo PITHON

Spiral-wire fixed retainer elicits less detrimental periodontal response than fiber-reinforced composite retainer. Halitosis and periodontal conditions are the same for conventional and self-ligating brackets. Malocclusion patients have greater difficulty in finding a jog. Is there an effective method to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement? Using esthetic orthodontic coated wires in self-ligating brackets increases frictional forces.
