CAD/CAM Metallic Printing of a Skeletally Anchored Upper Molar DistalizerSIMON GRAF DDS, SIVABALAN VASUDAVAN BDSc, MDSc, MPH, BENEDICT WILMES DMD, MDS, PhDLaser melting is an innovative method of 3D printing that has been used to produce metal rapid palatal expanders. Drs. Graf, Vasudavan, and Wilmes show how to use computer-aided design for 3D metal printing of a molar distalizer with palatal mini-implant anchorage. |

Accelerated Extraction Treatment with the Invisalign System and PhotobiomodulationKENJI OJIMA DDS, MDSc, CHISATO DAN DDS, HITOSHI WATANABE DDS, PhD, YURIKO KUMAGAI DDS, RAVINDRA NANDA BDS, MDS, PhDDrs. Ojima, Dan, Watanabe, Kumagai, and Nanda demonstrate the capability of low-level laser therapy (OrthoPulse) to shorten difficult extraction treatment with clear aligners. The case of an adult female with severe crowding is presented to illustrate their technique. |

THE CUTTING EDGEIntegrating CBCT and Virtual Models for Root Movement with Clear AlignersANGELA CHIARA D'ALESSANDRO DDS, VINCENZO D’ANTÒ DDS, ARMANDO VIVIANO RAZIONALE, GIULIO ALESSANDRI-BONETTI MD, DDSDr. D’Alessandro and colleagues describe a 3D data fusion method for creating orthodontic models from optical surface scans and CBCT images. This combined imaging is then used to construct clear aligners with “divots,” providing couples to control root positions in all three planes of space. |

PEARLSEtching Mask for Invisalign AttachmentsAMEDEO SALOMONE DDS, GAETANO TURATTI DDS, DOSA duplicate attachment template tray is ordered from Align Technology and then modified with a scalpel to remove the composite wells. The modified tray is used as a mask to control etchant placement and thus limit the amount of flash, simplifying the bonding appointment. |
