SmartArch Multi-Force Superelastic Archwires: A New Paradigm in Orthodontic Treatment EfficiencyMARC E. OLSEN DDS, MSDDr. Marc Olsen describes how advanced wire technology and biological principles of tooth movement can be applied to accelerate treatment by making tooth movement more efficient. Clinical uses of SmartArch wires are illustrated by two cases, including one in conjunction with the Insignia system. |

Spider Link: A Palatal Skeletal Anchorage SystemB. GIULIANO MAINO MD, DDS, LUCA LOMBARDO DDS, GIOVANNA MAINO DDS, AMEDEO SALOMONE DDS, GIUSEPPE SICILIANI DDSDr. Maino and colleagues introduce a system that integrates self-ligating miniscrews and prefabricated stainless steel Power Plates. Class II patients can be treated more quickly because the molars and premolars can be distalized simultaneously, as demonstrated here by three cases. |

Effect of Photobiomodulation on Pain Perception Among Orthodontic Patients: A Randomized Clinical TrialNOUR AL-OKLA BDS, MS, DANA BADER BDS, MS, ANAS AL-MULLA BDA, MSc, PhD, DONALD FERGUSON DMD, MSD, TIM SHAUGHNESSY DDS, MSPhotobiomodulation therapy has been shown not only to accelerate orthodontic treatment, but potentially to mitigate associated pain. A sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial by Dr. Al-Okla and colleagues evaluates the effectiveness of an OrthoPulse device in daily home use. |

PEARLSSimple and Secure Ligation Technique for Anterior Intrusion Using a MiniscrewSHAKEEL AHMED VALAI KASIM MDS, DIBO, REKHA BHARADWAJ MDS, DIBO, NAVEED AHMED VALAI KASIM BDSIn this Pearl, an elastomeric chain is engaged from a palatal miniscrew head to two gingivally oriented loops on the main archwire. The resulting upper incisor intrusion can rapidly close a midline diastema without the need for frequent reactivation. |
