Correction of Severe Crowding in Teenage Patients Using the Invisalign System
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 383 : Jul 2020
A young patient with upper and lower anterior crowding can now be treated without extractions using only clear aligners. Drs. Ojima, Dan, Kumagai, Watanabe, and Nanda demonstrate an approach involving upper arch expansion and molar distalization in a 12-year-old female.

Mini-Implant for Orthodontic Anchorage
Volume 11 : Number 11 : Page 763 : Nov 1997
Osseointegrated titanium implants have been used successfully to replace missing teeth, but their use for orthodontic anchorage has been limited by space.1-7 Conventional dental implants can only be p...

The Miniplate with Tube for Skeletal Anchorage
Volume 7 : Number 7 : Page 407 : Jul 2002
Anchorage control has always been a difficult and unpredictable challenge for orthodontists.1 Unlike headgear, which relies on patient compliance to achieve tooth movement,2 implants provide true stat...

A New Fixed Interarch Device for Class II Correction
Volume 37 : Number 1 : Page 36 : Jan 2003
Fixed devices are increasingly being used for molar distalization in Class II treatment because they eliminate the need for special patient compliance. These appliances fall into two main categories: ...

Anatomical Limits for Distalization of Lower Posterior Molars with Micro-Implant Anchorage
Volume 53 : Number 5 : Page 305 : May 2019
Based on conventional lateral cephalograms, the anterior border of the ascending ramus has been considered the limit for lower molar distalization. Drs. Kim, Jang, and Park use computed tomography to provide visual evidence of a more realistic anatomical limit.

A Fixed Labial/Lingual Technique for Rapid Bite Opening
Volume 25 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 1991
Lower incisor brackets are frequently sheared off by biting forces in deep-bite cases with minimal overjet. Previous methods of preventing this bracket loss have involved considerable time and expense...

Effects of First Bicuspid Extractions on Facial Height in High-Angle Cases
Volume 27 : Number 11 : Page 0 : Nov 1993
Some disagreement exists concerning the effect of bicuspid extractions on the vertical dimension. It has been suggested that orthodontic forward movement of the posterior teeth after bicuspid extracti...

Twist Ligation: A Technique to Reduce Archwire Binding
Volume 30 : Number 3 : Page 0 : Mar 1996
Differential anchorage is necessary when sliding mechanics must be applied asymmetrically. There is probably a linear relationship between stress (force per unit area) and tooth movement.1 However, be...

Retaining Treatment Results with the Advanceable Twin-Block Appliance
Volume 39 : Number 1 : Page 35 : Jan 2005
The twin-block appliance has been modified to allow bite advancement by means of a screw system incorporated into the maxillary appliance blocks.1 This can be advantageous in patients with severe over...

The Greenfield Lingual Distalizer
Volume 39 : Number 9 : Page 548 : Sep 2005
The Greenfield Molar Distalizer (GMD), introduced in March 1995,1 is a fixed appliance with buccal and lingual pistons on each side (Fig. 1). Placing the pistons at the gingival level reduces the dist...

Overlay Mechanics with the Tip-Edge PLUS Bracket, Part 1
Volume 40 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2006
The traditional procedure for treating Class I crowded cases requires the application of force to create space before a flexible archwire can be inserted for alignment. Simultaneous use of an overlay ...

Uprighting Mesially Impacted Second Molars with Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 41 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2007
Although mesial impaction of a mandibular second molar is relatively rare, with a prevalence of about .3%,1,2 it can present a difficult clinical problem. The orthodontist usually needs to upright the...

Uprighting Mesially Inclined Mandibular Second Molars with a Modified Uprighter Jet
Volume 41 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2007
Premature loss of the mandibular second premolars and first molars due to caries or periodontal disease can lead to mesioinclination of the second molars. Various orthodontic methods have been used to...

Modified Hyrax Expander for Correction of Upper Midline Deviation
Volume 43 : Number 3 : Page 158 : Mar 2009
In a mixed-dentition patient with maxillary transverse deficiency, when a deciduous canine is lost prematurely, the permanent incisors may migrate toward the affected side, reducing or closing the spa...

A New Palatal Implant with Interchangeable Upper Units
Volume 43 : Number 5 : Page 318 : May 2009
Although self-drilling miniscrews can be inserted without making an incision, resulting in a relatively low risk of infection, they have a high rate of failure. Miniplates can be used for molar distal...

Eruption and Alignment of Impacted Teeth with Multi-Purpose Attachments
Volume 46 : Number 8 : Page 486 : Aug 2012
A surgically exposed impacted tooth is usually brought into the arch using a bonded attachment such as a Begg bracket, a cleat or button, or a Monkey Hook.1 We have found our Multi-Purpose Attachment*...

Rapid Prototyping as an Adjunct for Autotransplantation of Impacted Teeth in the Esthetic Zone
Volume 49 : Number 11 : Page 711 : Nov 2015
Autotransplantation of teeth, introduced by Slagsvold and Bjercke more than 40 years ago, is a proven option either for substitution of missing teeth or for replacement of avulsed and traumatized teeth when the original donor teeth are available. In cases of severely impacted teeth, it can avoid the need for complex traction mechanics and the risks of side effects on adjacent teeth while reducing overall treatment time. The procedure requires viable periodontal ligament cells around the tooth to be transplanted. It is also technique-sensitive, necessitating proper preparation of the recipient site, in the exact size and shape of the donor tooth and root, to minimize the time the donor tooth remains outside the oral cavity during surgery.

The iMolar System and Clear Aligners in Adult Class II Patients
Volume 57 : Number 1 : Page 45 : Jan 2023
The iMolar system consists of a base anchored by two palatal miniscrews and attached to nickel titanium wires with crimpable stops. As Dr. Riatti and colleagues show, it can be activated and modified for molar distalization while clear aligners are performing dental alignment.
