May 2026 Issue Highlights Clinical Outcomes of Extraction-Guided Driftodontics The authors showcase three adolescent cases in which strategic premolar extractions and "driftodontics" enabled spontaneous canine descent, incisor retroclination, and substantial space closure without the need for immediate fixed appliances, demonstrating that carefully timed extractions can harness natural dental drift to simplify and shorten overall treatment.

May 2026 Issue Highlights CASE REPORT Controlled Eruption of a Palatally Impacted Central Incisor with TAD-Supported T-Bar Mechanics The 2026 JCO Student of the Year and colleagues illustrate a skeletally anchored T-bar appliance for the controlled eruption of a severely impacted central incisor complicated by two supernumerary mesiodens in a 10-year-old patient, offering an efficient alternative to conventional traction approaches in challenging mixed-dentition cases.

May 2026 Issue Highlights Protocol for the Isoglide Eruption Spring The author describes a superelastic nickel-titanium coil spring that delivers a continuous eruptive force, making it a reliable and efficient alternative to traditional traction methods for impacted maxillary canines, with a step-by-step clinical protocol to guide placement, activation, and monitoring throughout treatment.
