The Biomechanics of Aligner Orthodontics in Open-Bite CasesKENJI OJIMA DDS, MDSc, CHISATO DAN DDS, HITOSHI WATANABE DDS, PhD, YURIKO KUMAGAI DDS, RAVINDRA NANDA BDS, MDS, PhDDr. Ojima and colleagues describe three methods of correcting anterior open bite with the Invisalign system, depending on the clinical situation. Biomechanics are illustrated for cases requiring various combinations of anterior extrusion, molar intrusion, and maxillary molar distalization. |

2019 JCO Orthodontic Practice Study Part 3: Practice Growth and Staff DataROBERT G. KEIM DDS, EdD, PhD, DAVID S. VOGELS III, PHILIP B. VOGELSThe conclusion of this three-part report examines practice growth in terms of case starts and gross income over the past two years, as well as expectations for the next two years. Staff employment patterns, salaries, and benefits are also covered. |

A Superelastic Loop for Uprighting Mesially Impacted Lower Second MolarsFELICE BAGALÀ DDS, MS, GIULIANO B. MAINO MD, DDS, MS, GIOVANNA MAINO DDS, MS, DOMENICO DALESSANDRI DDS, MS, PhDThe original Loca-System used a loop of rectangular superelastic nickel titanium wire to distalize maxillary molars. This modification of the loop can be used to recover and upright a deeply impacted mandibular second molar, as demonstrated in an adult patient. |

An Innovative Light-Curing Unit for More Efficient BondingMYSURU VASUDEVAMURTHY AKSHATHA BDS, MDS, GUDLI MALLIKARJUN SHASHIKUMAR BDS, MDS, WADDARAMANE FAKKIRSAB BDS, MDS, ANUP SINGHVI BDS, MDSThe authors introduce FlashCure, a light-emitting diode unit that can cure composite on multiple teeth at the same time. An in vitro test shows greater shear bond strengths from the prototype FlashCure device than from a commercially available light-curing unit. |

CASE REPORTHerbst Appliance Supported by Four MiniscrewsANTONIO MANNI DMD, MS, CARMEN CERRUTO DDS, MAURO COZZANI DMD, MScDThe Herbst appliance, although reliable and well tolerated, has been associated with such adverse dental effects as proclination of the lower incisors and palatal inclination of the upper incisors. Drs. Manni, Cerruto, and Cozzani employ skeletal anchorage from four miniscrews to mitigate these effects. |
