The Biocreative Strategy Part 3: Extraction TreatmentSEONG-HUN KIM DMD, MSD, PhD, NUR SERIFE ISKENDEROGLU DDS, MSD, PhD, YOON-AH KOOK DDS, MSD, PhD, KYU-RHIM CHUNG DMD, MSD, PhD, GERALD NELSON DDSBiocreative Strategy utilizes light, continuous forces while avoiding long-term posterior brackets and minimizing skeletal anchorage devices. Drs. Kim, Iskenderoglu, Kook, Chung, and Nelson demonstrate two versions of the C-wire used for en-masse retraction, along with adjustable mechanics for anterior torque control. |

The Zygoma-Gear Appliance for Maxillary Molar DistalizationHARSHAL ASHOK PATIL BDS, MDS, VEERENDRA V. KERUDI BDS, MDS, NEERAJ S. PATIL BDS, MDS, PAWANKUMAR DNYANDEO TEKALE BDS, MDS, AMOL VERULKAR BDS, MDSAs described by Drs. Patil, Kerudi, Patil, Tekale, and Verulkar, this modified inner facebow relies on the zygomatic process to anchor upper molar movement without unwanted side effects or the need for patient compliance. The technique is shown in a 14-year-old female patient. |

Single Lower Incisor Extractions in Adult Invisalign PatientsOSCAR MARIO ANTELO DDS, MSc, THIAGO MARTINS MEIRA DDS, MSc, CAIO SEITI MIYOSHI DDS, AHMAD ALLAHHAM DDS, ORLANDO MOTOHIRO TANAKA DDS, PhDIn treating an adult Class I patient with a harmonious profile, the orthodontist often has to decide between incisor protrusion or a reduction in tooth size. Now, as shown by Drs. Antelo, Meira, Miyoshi, Allahham, and Tanaka, clear aligners provide an esthetic alternative for adults who meet the criteria for single lower incisor extractions. |

CASE REPORTTreatment of Skeletal Class II Open Bite with the Triple Intrusion SystemHATICE GÖKALP DDS, PhD, RUHENGIZ EFENDIYEVA DDS, PhD, ÖZLEM BILGILI,, ECEM EFE DDSThe authors introduce a reliable method for treating an adult open-bite patient with maxillary vertical excess and a retrognathic mandible. This case report illustrates a triple intrusion system that uses a multipurpose implant, posterior maxillary cap splints, and palatal miniscrews to enable maxillary posterior retraction and mandibular anterior rotation. |

PEARLSModified Transpalatal Arch for Simultaneous Intrusion and RetractionRIYA SHETTY BDS, MDS, ROOPAK NAIK BDS, MDS, PRAVEEN KUMAR PRABHU BDS, MDS, ANAND K. PATIL BDS, MDS, MOrthMiniscrews are commonly placed in the buccal dentoalveolus, mesial to the maxillary first molars, to anchor simultaneous intrusion and retraction of the anterior teeth. This simple Pearl takes us back to a tried-and-true alternative: a modified transpalatal arch with soldered buccal arms in place of miniscrews. |
