With this aim in mind, three different groups hyperdivergent, hipodivergent and an intermediate one were studied and compared. The tests performed allowed to identify a statistically more significant vertical displacement in hyperdivergent group while the sagittal displacement was more pronounced in hypodivergent group with a relative level of significance. Regardless of the facial type, vertical displacements were more marked than sagittal. The results allow concluding that CS is independent of facial types and that in the special case of hyperdivergent it should be carefully evaluated and considered in the study of clinical cases.

The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate skeletal, dental and tegumental cephalometric modifications induced by Teuscher activator. This study was accomplished in a mixed dentition sample of Class II malocclusions subjects with mandibular retrognatism. This appliance was effective in treating growing patients with mandibular deficiency: the correction of Class II malocclusions was an arrangement of skeletal and dentoalveolar changes and leaded to the improvement of soft tissue facial profile.

It is intended to show the extent of use of this tool by highlighting three different universes in which thermography can be used. The first approach shows how the technology is built and its functions, the second describes how it can be applied, and the third explores how it can be interpreted.

It is a practical and cost-effective method for attaining extra anchorage in a variety of treatment situationsand it can be used either with orthodontic or orthopaedic purposes [2-3]. It is imperative for the clinician to consider thequality of the force systems, taking into account the degradation of its components, due to loss of elastic memory andmaterial fatigue. Thus it is utterly important to understand the characteristics and mechanical behaviour of the extra oraldevice elements.This investigation intended to compare extraoral force delivery systems through the study of the mechanical behaviourof the plastic strap component. For this study two methods were chosen, a non-experimental technique, Finite ElementAnalysis (FEA), and an experimental technique ESPI. Two different manufacturers of extraoral traction systems wereselected based on their market price, one of them being significantly more expensive than the other. The assessment ofthis data may validate the choice criteria between these two market options.

The brass instruments, also known as 'lip-vibrated instruments, are played by propelling air through sealed lips. The pressure applied on the lips can cause damage and bruising. The use of mouthguards can prevent those injuries producing some relief on orthodontics patients playing those instruments. The aim of this work was to describe the procedures to construct a custom mouthguard for orthodontic patient trumpet player (MOPTP) that prevents injuries on soft tissues while it allows simultaneously orthodontic tooth movement and a good musical performance.
