This chapter reviews the current applications of ultrasound in dentistry and proposes to introduce the potential applicability of an intra-oral ultrasound as an alternative imaging modality for the treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), mostly related to dental development and orthodontic treatment.

In the evolving world of sleep medicine, emerging evidence has shown the importance of craniofacial structure and its impact on the dynamic airway. Dental professionals are uniquely positioned to not only screen and treat patients with sleep disordered breathing but also prevent the development of known risk factors that can contribute to airway instability. As the field continues to grow, so too does our understanding of this complex disease. The ability, and hence the responsibility, to treat thus falls upon several disciplines. From orthodontists to maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologist, from sleep medicine to myofunctional therapist, the multidisciplinary approach is therefore the foundational component of the treatment algorithm used to treat these patients. This review presents a Site-Specific Sleep Surgery Algorithm for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, offering a general overview of various surgical techniques, and emphasizes how a multidisciplinary team collaboration model including orthodontists in skeletal sleep surgery is essential for achieving optimal outcomes. Ultimately, bringing together the expertise of multiple specialties leads to more effective, patient-focused treatments for obstructive sleep apnea.

Although the representation of women in the fields of dentistry and orthodontics is progressively increasing, they continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions, academic roles, and speaking opportunities. Systemic issues, including structural biases, cultural norms, and entrenched institutional practices, persist in hindering the visibility and career advancement of female professionals. It is essential to differentiate between gender equality, which signifies equal opportunity, and gender equity, which pertains to fair access and equitable outcomes. Establishing equitable conditions is critical for enhancing women's success in orthodontics. Furthermore, the active promotion of gender equity demands the implementation of multifaceted strategies, which include comprehensive mentorship programs, targeted training in public speaking, and extensive policy reforms. For instance, presenting practical recommendations for delivering impactful presentations can significantly increase professional visibility. Additionally, analyzing global case studies pertaining to successful gender equity initiatives can yield valuable insights and inspiration. Ultimately, achieving genuine gender equity within the domain of orthodontics requires comprehensive systemic change and collaborative advocacy, while duly respecting individual preferences. This will ensure that all professionals, irrespective of gender, are afforded equal opportunities to lead, contribute, and thrive.

Orthodontic specialty admissions statistics have improved markedly for women. However, women still encounter challenges to achieving professional success. A number of strategies for overcoming obstacles can be implemented. A career in academic orthodontics and orthodontic research has advantages. Future orthodontists who will advance the field are chosen by educators; that impact is one of the appeals of an academic career. Efforts to provide the safest, most effective care for patients have their basis in education and research.

In this article, the author shares her journey from the childhood dream to become an orthodontist to life as a young professional while raising children and establishing an orthodontic practice. As an early adopter of technology, this clinician starts learning to move teeth with aligners, and subsequently becomes a key opinion leader in aligner orthodontics and then writing a definitive text on clear aligner technique. The various seasons in one's life journey is discussed first as a daughter, a mother, then as an orthodontist, educator, international speaker and author. Along the way, insights are shared that hope to inspire others on their professional and personal life journey. The author discusses the evolving role of women in orthodontics and the importance of creating opportunities for future generations of female orthodontists. The author's journey from student to pioneer in her field sets the tone for a narrative about professional innovation and personal triumph.

Aim
This study evaluates gender disparities in speaker representation at the Italian Society of Orthodontists (SIDO) congresses (2020–2024) and the International Orthodontic Congress (IOC) 2020, focusing on gender distribution and academic impact, measured by the h-index.
Materials and Methods
The SIDO congress programs (2020–2024) and IOC 2020 were analyzed to count male and female invited speakers. The h-index for each speaker was retrieved from the Scopus database to assess academic productivity. Statistical tests, including the Shapiro-Wilk test, independent samples t-test, and Kruskal-Wallis test, were used to analyze gender-based differences in representation and h-index values.
Results
Data from the SIDO congresses showed a persistent gender imbalance in both representation and academic recognition. In 2020, only 6 out of 29 speakers were female, with their average h-index (7.33) significantly lower than that of male speakers (13.13). Female representation increased to 31 % in 2024, but their average h-index (8.95) still lagged behind males (11.13). At the IOC 2020, female speakers represented 24 % but had a higher average h-index (22.62) than males (20.91).
Conclusions
This study highlights significant gender disparities in both speaker representation and academic recognition in orthodontics. Despite increased female participation at SIDO congresses, their academic impact remains lower than that of their male counterparts. These findings emphasize the need for initiatives promoting gender equality, such as mentorship programs and inclusive policies, to empower women and reduce the gender gap in academic and professional settings.
