THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
Always a high point of my year, this year's annual session of the AAO in Orlando, Florida, was another triumph for the profession. The lectures were stimulating, the exhibits were informative, and the social activities were enjoyable. One topic that seemed to be on everybody's mind was that of accelerated orthodontics (AO).

Second-Molar Crossbite Correction with a Hairpin-Spring Appliance
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
Lower second molars commonly erupt into a lingual crossbite or "scissor bite". Traditional treatment involves banding or bonding a lingual attachment and running crossbite elastics to the upper second molars, but that method is cumbersome and dependent on patient compliance. This month's Pearl describes a hairpin-spring appliance that can efficiently correct a second-molar crossbite without the need for brackets or elastics.

THE CUTTING EDGE
Long-Distance Orthodontic Treatment with Adjunctive Light Therapy
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 757 : Dec 2015
Orthodontists are constantly looking for ways to improve the ease of treatment, patient comfort, and "throughput". Prescription bonded brackets and nickel titanium wires are just two examples of these efforts. In our Cutting Edge column this month, Dr. Timothy Shaughnessy explores another trend in orthodontic treatment: accelerated orthodontics. During my five decades in the profession, various methods for speeding up treatment, including electrical stimulation and hormonal and chemical applications, have occasionally surfaced. None of these has gained widespread acceptance. Now gaining some traction, however, are both invasive procedures that stimulate the body's reparative process and noninvasive vibratory stimulation of the periodontal membrane.
