Retreatment of a Class II Patient with Short-Root Anomaly
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
Short-root anomaly is an idiopathic condition that can occasionally be associated with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. It affects about 1.3% of the population and is more prevalent in women. Caused by incomplete root development rather than resorptive processes, it is usually confined to the upper incisors or premolars, but may sometimes affect the entire dentition, when it is known as generalized short-root anomaly. Short-root anomalies may be associated with systemic conditions such as dysplasia type 1, scleroderma, thalassemia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Aarskog syndrome, Down syndrome, or Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.

Orthodontic Correction of Impacted and Transposed Upper Canines
Volume 50 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2016
The canines have the highest reported incidence of dental transposition - most commonly with the first premolar, followed by the lateral incisor. Several authors have described cases in which canine transpositions were resolved or the teeth were aligned in their transposed positions. To our knowledge, however, no one has reported treating a patient in whom bilaterally impacted upper canines were transposed with the lateral incisors and were also associated with severe root resorption of adjacent teeth. Canine transposition is one of the most common causes of tooth resorption. Typically, an upper lateral-incisor root is affected by ectopic eruption of the adjacent canine, although central incisors can also be involved. The apical and middle thirds of the incisor roots are most likely to be resorbed.

Nonsurgical Treatment of a Surgically Prepared Skeletal Class III Patient Using Skeletal Anchorage
Volume 55 : Number 9 : Page 20210901 : Sep 2021
The introduction of skeletal anchorage has made orthodontic camouflage a more viable option in mild to moderate skeletal Class III cases. Here, a nonextraction camouflage plan is adopted after the patient refuses orthognathic surgery during presurgical leveling and alignment.

Forced Eruption of Multiple Impacted Teeth in an Adolescent Patient
Volume 54 : Number 8 : Page 451 : Aug 2020
A 12-year-old patient with five impacted upper anterior teeth is successfully treated with surgical exposure and orthodontic forced eruption. After space preparation and extraction of four first premolars, the impacted teeth are brought into the arch, and an impacted upper second premolar is erupted in the same way.

A Simple Method for Aligning Retroclined or Ectopic Teeth
Volume 44 : Number 3 : Page 171 : Mar 2010

Early Management of an Edge-to-Edge Incisor Occlusion
Volume 57 : Number 6 : Page 20230601 : Jun 2023
Interception of an edge-to-edge incisor relationship in the mixed dentition can prevent the development of many dental and skeletal abnormalities. This young patient benefited from a short course of orthodontic treatment that avoided the need for surgery while preserving the permanent dentition.

Compensatory Treatment of a Complex Class III Malocclusion
Volume 56 : Number 2 : Page 20220201 : Feb 2022
Recent technological advances in thermoactivated and superelastic wires and skeletal anchorage have enabled simpler compensatory orthodontic treatment of skeletal Class III patients without extractions or orthognathic surgery. In this case, the authors use passive self-ligating brackets and extra-alveolar mandibular skeletal anchorage.
