The work of Amalia Cong mentored by the DCBIA team is highlighted in the October 2022 cover of the official journal of the American Association of Orthodontists. Cong and colleagues from the University of Michigan; Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; University of British Columbia, Canada; University of Toronto, Canada; University of São Paulo, Brazil; University of the Pacific; University of North Carolina; and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia, evaluated the accuracy of tooth movements with clear aligners during presurgical orthodontics using novel 3-dimensional superimposition techniques.
