Introduction to LightForce Part 1: 3D-Printing the Next Generation of Fixed AppliancesALEXANDER WALDMAN DMD, MMSc, MAZYAR MOSHIRI DMD, MS, CHRISTINA BONEBREAK-JACKSON DMD, MSAdditive manufacturing represents the most recent evolution of CAD/CAM technology in orthodontics. Drs. Waldman, Moshiri, and Bonebreak-Jackson describe how LightForce 3D-printed polycrystalline alumina brackets and LightPlan cloud-based software enable fully customized treatment. A typical case is presented. |

PEARLSSelective Bracket Bonding for Correction of Mesial RotationsSERGIO HERNAN VALVERDE MONTALVA DDS, MSIn this Pearl, a relatively well-aligned tooth is initially left unbracketed to allow placement of an open-coil nickel titanium spring that can rotate two adjacent crowded teeth in opposite directions. An example demonstrates quick resolution of a patient’s anterior crowding. |

The Potential for Regeneration of Mandibular Lingual Cortical Bone after En Masse Molar DistalizationHO-JIN KIM DDS, MSD, PhD, HYO-SANG PARK DDS, MSD, PhDThe posterior lingual cortex of the mandible has been considered the anatomical limit for orthodontic distalization. Drs. Kim and Park show a case in which CBCT images indicate long-term alveolar bone recovery after cortical dehiscence caused by substantial distal movement. |

Skeletal Anchorage for Strategic Treatment of Hyperdivergent Class III Malocclusion in Adult PatientsNIKI ARVEDA DDS, FRANCESCA CREMONINI DDS, MARIO PALONE DDS, NICOLA DERTON DDS, LUCA LOMBARDO DDSRetromolar miniscrews are used to anchor en masse mandibular distalization in hyperdivergent Class III treatment. The lower third molars are extracted to provide space for the miniscrews and the distal movement, while various measures are taken to prevent anterior torque loss. |

CASE REPORTManagement of a Transmigrant Lower Canine without Skeletal Anchorage in a Growing Class II PatientFABIO GIUNTOLI DDS, LEONARDO DASSATTI DDS, GIULIA PAPI, MARCO MIGLIORATI DDS, PhD, MScForced eruption of a transmigrant ectopic canine is performed using a lower lingual holding arch with a cantilever arm. The closed elastic traction is activated distally and labially, away from the roots of the lower incisors, to avoid resorption. |
