THE EDITOR'S CORNERProposed Clinical Guidance for Orthodontists and Orthodontic Staff in the Post-COVID-19 Environment: A Clinician's PerspectiveJOHN W. GRAHAM DDS, MD, JAMES E. PASCHAL DMD, MS, DAVID E. PAQUETTE DDS, MS, MSD, FACDEditor’s Note: The following guest editorial is offered as a counterpoint to the ADA recommendations summarized by Jackie Dorst in this month’s article on “Back-to-Work Coronavirus Infection Control”.... |

Back-to-Work Coronavirus Infection ControlJACKIE DORST RDHJackie Dorst, a noted expert on infection control, discusses implementation of the ADA’s “Return to Work Interim Guidance Toolkit” in orthodontic practices. Topics covered include welcome back reassurance, pre-appointment screening, patient registration, reception area preparation, chairside procedures, and staff protection. |

PEARLSAn Esthetic Removable Inclined PlaneGABRIEL SCHMIDT DOLCI DDS, MSD, PhD, JORGE DIAS LOPES DDS, MSD, PhD, AFONSO PINHÃO FERREIRA DDS, MSD, PhD, STEFAN CARDON DDS, MSDAn anterior crossbite can be resolved with a fixed inclined biteplane, but those devices have drawbacks in terms of hygiene, speech, and mastication. This removable, vacuformed alternative uses a full dental arch as anchorage to correct a crossbite during Phase I treatment. |

CASE REPORTManagement of Horizontally Impacted Mandibular Canines in a Skeletal Class II MalocclusionMANISH GOYAL MDS, PhD, MOrth RCS, MUKESH KUMAR MDS, SUMIT KUMAR MDS, ASHISH KUSHWAH MDS, SONIKA SHARMA MDSA 15-year-old patient with “kissing” lower canines is treated without surgery by extracting the horizontally impacted teeth and using a fixed functional Class II corrector to address the skeletal problem. The case is finished to a skeletal Class I and dental Class III relationship. |

Vertical Bracket Positioning Using the Marginal Ridge as ReferenceDARWIN VAZ DE LIMA DDS, MSc, PhD, KARINA MARIA SALVATORE FREITAS DDS, MSc, PhDDrs. Lima and Freitas provide a rationale for using the marginal ridge as a guideline for bonding preadjusted brackets to the posterior teeth. The first premolars then serve as references for the anterior bracket positions. Two typical cases are shown. |

Comparative Effectiveness of Invisalign and Fixed Appliances in First-Premolar Extraction CasesFRANCESCA GAFFURI DDS, GIANGUIDO COSSELLU DDS, PhD, VALENTINA LANTERI DDS, PhD, ELISABETTA BROTTO DDS, MARCO FARRONATO DDSIn a prospective case-control study, Dr. Gaffuri and colleagues compare the efficacy of clear aligners with that of preadjusted edgewise appliances in premolar-extraction treatment, as scored by the ABO Objective Grading System and ABO standard cephalometric analysis. |

A New Jig Design for Molar Distalization with Skeletal AnchorageGUILHERME BERND DDS, MS, CAROLINE KOLLING FENSTERSEIFER DDS, ANDRE WEISSHEIMER DDS, MS, PhD, LUCIANE MACEDO DE MENEZES DDS, MS, PhDSliding jigs can now be combined with temporary anchorage devices to optimize biomechanics for unilateral Class II correction. The authors describe how to fabricate an efficient, esthetic, and inexpensive jig from beta titanium or stainless steel wire. |
