Dental changes associated with tongue retaining device wear

摘要

There were two in press references [1, 2] cited as #11 and #17 in our article that were submitted and accepted in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AJODO) before this paper was submitted to Sleep and Breathing (S&B). These two papers were published in September 2008. The tongue retaining device (TRD) paper was the third part of the entire study. Since the AJODO could accept only standard orthodontic cases as case reports, we decided to separate the articles and submit this TRD portion to S&B.
