Review
The need for orthodontic treatment modalities that provide maximal anchorage control but with minimal patient compliance requirements has led to the development of implant-assisted orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Skeletal anchorage with miniscrew implants has no patient compliance requirements and has been widely incorporated in orthodontic practice. Miniscrew implants are now routinely used as anchorage devices in orthodontic treatment. This review summarizes recent data regarding the interpretation of bone data (i.e., bone quantity and quality) obtained by preoperative diagnostic computed tomography (CT) or by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to miniscrew implant placement. Such data are essential when selecting appropriate sites for miniscrew implant placement. Bone characteristics that are indications and contraindications for treatment with miniscrew implants are discussed. Additionally, bicortical orthodontic skeletal anchorage, risks associated with miniscrew implant failure, and miniscrew implants for nonsurgical correction of occlusal cant or vertical excess are reviewed. Finally, implant stability is compared between titanium alloy and stainless steel miniscrew implants.

Review
INTRODUCTION
Adult patients are seen more frequently in our orthodontic offices. Unlike the adolescent, the adult patient will often need a multidisciplinary approach due to tooth migrations secondary to extractions or periodontal disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This article will address the indications and orthodontic solutions to various restorative problems relative to the adult patient. Specific orthodontic mechanics aimed at facilitating and improving the prosthetic outcomes will be described and illustrated with clinical cases.

Review
INTRODUCTION
Dental intrusion has long been considered one of the most difficult movements to induce in orthodontics. Using conventional mechanics, the main difficulty lies in the need to ensure anchorage control, which is highly complicated to achieve, so as to avoid parasitic movements. In this framework, mini-screws have proven to offer a very effective means of anchorage, allowing greater control over intrusion of the anterior and posterior teeth and a simpler biomechanical movement opening up new therapeutic perspectives for the orthodontist.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and biomechanical application of mini-screws for dental intrusion.

Review
Advances in precision medicine portend similar progress in orthodontics and will be increasingly harnessed to achieve customized treatment approaches and enhance treatment efficiencies. Our goal is to provide a background on emerging advances in computer technologies and biomedicine and highlight their current and likely future applications to precision orthodontics. A review of orthodontically relevant technologies and advances in pertinent biological research was undertaken. Innovations in computer hardware and software, and 3D imaging technologies offer the ability for customized treatment and biomechanical planning that will be more fully realized within the next few decades. These technologies combined with 3D printing are already being applied to customized appliance fabrication such as aligners and retainers. The future prospects for custom fabrication of orthodontic brackets of appropriate material properties and smart devices are highly desirable and compelling goals. Within biomedicine, the fundamental understanding of cartilage growth and bone biology is currently being tested in animal models to modify mandibular growth and modulate tooth movement, respectively. Some of these discoveries will ultimately have clinical applications in orthodontics including for growth modification, accelerating orthodontic tooth movement, and enhancing anchorage or retention of teeth. Additional genomic and proteomic information will add to further customization of orthodontic diagnosis and treatments. Over the coming decades, precision orthodontics will continue to benefit from advances in many fields and will require the integration of advances in technology, and biomedical and clinical research to deliver optimal, efficient, safe, and reproducible personalized orthodontic treatment.

Review
BACKGROUND
The treatment options for the early treatment of anterior open bite are still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the actual available evidence on treatments of anterior open bite in the mixed dentition in order to assess the effectiveness of the early treatment in reducing open bite, the most efficacious treatment strategy and the stability of the results.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A literature survey was done on November 15, 2015, by means of appropriate Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) using the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, LILACS, VHL, and WEB OF SCIENCE. Randomized clinical trials and studies with a control group (treated or untreated) were then selected by two authors. Trials including patients with syndromes or in the permanent dentition and studies concerning treatment with extractions, full-fixed appliances, or surgery were not considered. Full articles were retrieved for abstracts or titles that met the initial inclusion criteria or lacked sufficient detail for immediate exclusion.
RESULTS
Two thousand five hundred sixty-nine studies about open bite were available; the search strategy selected 240 of them. Twenty-four articles have been judged suitably for the final review, and their relevant data were analyzed.
DISCUSSION
Although this review confirms the effectiveness of early treatment of open bite, particularly when no-compliance strategies are employed, meta-analysis was unfeasible due to lack of standardization, important methodological limitations, and shortcomings of the studies.
CONCLUSIONS
A more robust approach to trial design in terms of methodology and error analysis is needed. Besides, more studies with longer periods of follow-up are required.
