Clinical Experience with the Use of Pulsatile Forces to Accelerate Treatment
Volume 49 : Number 9 : Page 557 : Sep 2015
Protracted treatment is one of the greatest challenges in orthodontics. As treatment lengthens, the patient is increasingly exposed to oral-health risks including root resorption, caries, and periodontal disease. Patient satisfaction may also decline as treatment is extended. Uribe and colleagues, evaluating the perceptions of parents, patients, and orthodontists on the need to accelerate treatment, found that 55% of adolescent patients felt their treatment was too long. Seventy percent of the responding orthodontists said they would be interested in clinical procedures that would reduce treatment time. The invasiveness of each procedure was inversely related to acceptance of that treatment for both orthodontists and patients.

THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 51 : Number 11 : Page 705 : Nov 2017
An interesting question was posed to me recently in an interdisciplinary case conference at a university-based medical center dental school. These conferences are generally attended by specialists from other dental disciplines and occasionally by craniofacial, plastic, or ENT surgeons. Having been a practicing general dentist for almost 10 years before returning to school for orthodontic specialty training, I am frequently amazed at how little other health-care practitioners know about orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. This time, the question that caused my surprise was simply: “What are the most difficult malocclusions to treat?”

Effectiveness of Composite Attachments in Controlling Upper-Molar Movement with Aligners
Volume 50 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 2016
In nonextraction treatment, upper-molar distalization is often the method of choice to gain 2-3mm of arch space and obtain a Class I relationship. To achieve bodily movement, either the applied force must pass through the tooth’s center of resistance or a sophisticated equivalent system of forces and moments must be applied to the molar crown.
