The Lasso of Truth

NEAL D. KRAVITZ DMD, MS

The comic book superhero Wonder Woman was created in 1941 by Harvard psychologist William Moulton Marston, under the pseudonym Charles Moulton. Interestingly, Marston is also recognized for two earli...

A Sliding Jig for Movement of a Central Incisor Across the Midline in a Class II Patient with Agenesis and Multiple Impactions

MATHEUS MELO PITHON MS, DDS, PhD, IAN MATOS VIEIRA MS, DDS, PhD, RICARDO ALVES DE SOUZA MS, DDS, PhD, LÍVIA MARIA ANDRADE DE FREITAS MS, DDS, PhD

The sliding jig presented by Drs. Pithon, Vieira, Souza, and Freitas is designed to move teeth laterally with support from mini-implant anchorage, thus avoiding unwanted side effects. A complex case is shown in which an incisor was moved across the midline.

Hybrid Aligner Therapy for Growing Patients with Anterior Open Bites

LUCA LOMBARDO DDS, MS, ANTONELLA CARLUCCI DDS, PAOLO ALBERTINI DDS, FRANCESCA CREMONINI DDS, GIUSEPPE SICILIANI MD, DDS

As Dr. Lombardo and colleagues describe, an interceptive phase of rapid maxillary expansion and elimination of oral habits can simplify subsequent Phase II treatment with clear aligners in young open-bite patients. Two cases illustrate this hybrid approach.

Orthodontic Management of Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder

SHIVAM MEHTA BDS, MDS, FLAVIO URIBE DDS, MDentSc

Because patients with ASD exhibit higher rates of certain malocclusions, they are often seen in orthodontic practices. Drs. Mehta and Uribe provide a number of clinical tips to facilitate their treatment, including record-taking procedures as well as impression and bonding techniques.

PEARLS

Improving the Bond Strength of Molar Tubes

NAM HA, NEAL D. KRAVITZ DMD, MS, ESER TÜFEKÇİ DDS, MS, PhD, MSHA, PARTHASARATHY MADURANTAKAM DDS, MDS, PhD, AOUS A. ABDULMAJEED DDS, PhD

This month’s Pearl shows how adding a small amount of composite over the occlusal portion of a molar tube can increase the surface area of the base and thus deflect force and enhance bond strength, preventing bond failures.

CASE REPORT

En-Masse Retraction of the Mandibular Arch with Skeletal Anchorage in the Buccal Shelf

CARLOS ALBERTO DE MORAIS VIEIRA DDS, MSc, PhD, ROSÂNGELA DAMIS RODRIGUES DDS, MSc, PhD, THIAGO GOMES CARDOSO MSc, MARCELO AUGUSTO GARCIA-JÚNIOR DDS, MSc, DARCENY ZANETTA-BARBOSA DDS, MSc, PhD

Bodily distalization of the mandibular arch is achieved with miniscrew anchorage in nonsurgical, nonextraction treatment of this skeletal Class III malocclusion. Passive self-ligating brackets allow lighter forces to be applied for sliding mechanics, and intermaxillary elastics are not required.

Biocreative Reverse-Curve Technique for Nonsurgical Resolution of Severe Open Bite Associated with Condylar Disease

JIN-YOUNG CHOI DDS, MSD, PhD, SEONG-HUN KIM DMD, MSD, PhD, KYU-RHIM CHUNG DMD, MSD, PhD, JUNG-PYO HONG DMD, MSD, PhD, GERALD NELSON DDS

The authors’ technique utilizes anterior skeletal anchorage and a lower reverse-curve archwire to produce molar intrusion and counterclockwise mandibular rotation. This provides a nonsurgical option for treatment of patients with degenerative disease of the TMJ, as two cases demonstrate.

CASE REPORT

Reverse Engineering for Post-Treatment Analysis of a Surgical-Orthodontic Case

KARINA TOSTES BORSATO DDS, MSc, JULIANNA DE OLIVEIRA LIMA PARIZOTTO DDS, MSc, JONAS BIANCHI DDS, MSc, PhD, ADRIANA MARIA BONADIO LOPES RAMOS DDS, MSc, JOÃO ROBERTO GONÇALVES DDS, MSC, PhD

An adult Class II patient with a hyperdivergent profile is treated with four premolar extractions, orthodontics, and bimaxillary osteotomies. Fifteen years later, a virtual simulation compares the results with those that could have been achieved with no extractions or two premolar extractions.
