Abstract
orthodontic treatment, external apical root resorption (EARR) is the clinicians’ main concern for orthodontic patients. Moreover, the comparison between fixed orthodontic appliances and clear aligners of the effect to the root resorption in the initial treatment phase was barely studied before. So I read this article with particularly great interest. This study compared the magnitude of EARR 6 months after starting orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and clear aligners, and it showed a small amount of root resorption which was comparable between two groups. I have a few questions to the authors about this study.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Orthodontics (KJO) is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal published in January, March, May, July, September, and November each year. It was first launched in 1970 and, as the official scientific publication of Korean Association of Orthodontists, KJO aims to publish high quality clinical and scientific original research papers in all areas related to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Specifically, its interest focuses on evidence-based investigations of contemporary diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques, expanding to significant clinical reports of diverse treatment approaches.
The scope of KJO covers all areas of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics including successful diagnostic procedures and treatment planning, growth and development of the face and its clinical implications, appliance designs, biomechanics, TMJ disorders and adult treatment. Specifically, its latest interest focuses on skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontic appliance and biomaterials, 3 dimensional imaging techniques utilized for dentofacial diagnosis and treatment planning, and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal disharmony in association of orthodontic treatment.
