In anticiaption of our meeting dedicated to orthodontic misconcetions, I'd like to share with you my text from 3 years ago... It was a tongue-in-cheek piece desccribing many popular dubious trends... I got excluded from one American Facebook forum for publishing it but later ended up in Kevin O'Brien's blog... https://kevinobrienorthoblog.com/how-to-win-an-orthodontic-patient-an-ultimate-guide-to-cashing-in/

Great blog post from Prof. Martyn Cobourne: https://kevinobrienorthoblog.com/managing-patients-with-chronic-pain-from-temporomandibular-disorders/

“Interestingly, conditional recommendations were made against the use of reversible occlusal splints (alone or with anything else), arthrocentesis (alone or with anything else), cartilage supplement, low-level laser therapy, nerve stimulation, botulinin toxin injection, hyaluronic acid injection, corticosteroids, benzodiazepines and beta-blockers. These therapies could be considered if no others are suitable.”

Here is my blog post about post-Soviet orthodontiya from almost 7 years ago…

Late-night Tuesday clinical pearl #4

Here is a valuable one by Dr. Robert Kazmierski from New Jersey:

Avoid ceramic brackets on the lower arch – this may damage the upper teeth!

I guess there could be no better introduction to our next event with Dr. Charles Greene and Dr. Sanj Kandasami than this recent 14-min-long video by Dr. Jeffrey Okeson: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sqJVZgTE16w

But maybe this meme by James Andrews is an even better introduction…

Following our today's discussion, here is a nice article on osteoma: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/10/23/5584

Highlights:

"Histologically, an osteoma is represented as a mass of abnormal dense bone"

"Asymptomatic osteomas do not usually require surgery, but rather a “wait and see” strategy based on clinical and radiological follow-up"
