Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different therapies (HSS, counselling, and exercise) on patients with painful TMD seeking orthodontic treatment, finding that using HSS combined with counselling and exercise therapy before treatment can provide pain relief. Additionally, it was concluded that males have a better prognosis in terms of stability compared to females.

Summary: This study analyzed the orthodontic treatment of 94 individuals with rare diseases and found that they presented more dental and skeletal abnormalities, oromotor dysfunctions, and required more complex treatment processes compared to the control group.

Summary: This study evaluated the advantages and limitations of using laser therapy on periodontal status during orthodontic treatment. The results showed a significant decrease in plaque index and bleeding on probing values after treatment, while probing depth values remained relatively unchanged. The use of a dark-field microscope helped raise awareness of oral bacteria presence and motivated patients to improve oral hygiene.

Summary: This review provides an illustration of common clinical complications involving periodontal tissues in orthodontic therapy. Recommendations are given on how to prevent these complications, based on available evidence and expert opinion. The review highlights the potential for collaboration between periodontics and orthodontics for the benefit of patients affected by dental misalignment or periodontal problems.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate gingival recessions and periodontal status in patients who underwent non-extraction orthodontic treatment and retention for at least two years. The findings suggest that non-extraction orthodontic treatment does not have a significant impact on the development of gingival recessions or periodontal health after retention.

Summary: The study compared patients' and parents' orthodontic treatment expectations at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health in the United States, finding that patients generally expect less service and results than parents. Participants' expectations were also influenced by sociodemographic factors and varied between different university centers in different regions.

Summary: Acute periodontal pain may disrupt the tactile ability of teeth, while strain of the periodontal ligament in the absence of painful sensation results in a return to baseline values for occlusal tactile acuity.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, TMD patients exhibited higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to orthodontic patients and the general population. Factors such as younger age, female gender, close contact with individuals from Hubei province, higher self-rated infection possibility, concern about psychological barriers, and lack of trust may negatively impact patients' psychological status. This highlights the importance of mental health care, especially for patients with these specific characteristics, during the reopening of hospitals and clinics post-pandemic.

Summary: In this study, children with hyperthyroidism were more likely to present with hoarseness and difficulty concentrating compared to adults. Both adult and pediatric patients waited for a median of 13 and 6 months from initiation of antithyroid medications to surgery, respectively, with no significant difference in outcomes observed.

Summary: The primary aim of this study was to determine the levels of literacy in oral health and orthodontics among adults, and the secondary aim was to investigate the differences between males and females. The results showed that both oral health literacy and orthodontic literacy were low, with males demonstrating higher oral health literacy than females. Age and dental visit frequency had minimal impact on literacy levels.

Summary: Orthodontics is a specialized field in dentistry that aims to diagnose, prevent, intercept, modify growth, and treat dentofacial discrepancies. However, orthodontic treatments can have both beneficial and negative effects on oral structures and social well-being. This review utilizes systematic literature search strategies to identify potential risks and the common factors contributing to these hazards. Obtaining informed consent from patients, particularly those with a history of trauma or adverse reactions, is crucial in orthodontic procedures.
