Controlling the Vertical Dimension
Volume 51 : Number 7 : Page 375 : Jul 2017
The vertical dimension of the face, or facial height, is one of the more esoteric concepts in dentistry. The online Medical Dictionary defines it as "the linear dimension in the midline from the hairline to menton." Anterior facial height is rather self-evidently described as "the sum of upper and lower facial heights, the lower limit of the latter variously defined as the pogonion, gnathion, or menton. Posterior facial height is often measured from the gonion to the condylare, sella, or center of face point." The occlusal correlate of facial height is the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO).

Volume 57 : Number 9 : Page 512 : Sep 2023
The 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.

Treatment of Bimaxillary Protrusion Using Fiber-Reinforced Composite
Volume 41 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 2007
Treatment of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion often involves the extraction of four first premolars.1 Since these patients often have Class I molar relationships, the objective is usually to reduc...

Immediate Reactivation of a Modified Haas Expander after Full Screw Expansion
Volume 42 : Number 1 : Page 43 : Jan 2008
Although rapid maxillary expansion is widely used for patients with transverse growth deficiencies,1 a single expansion device may not be sufficient for complete correction of a severe case.2-4 This a...

Diagnosis of Anomalous Teeth with Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Volume 46 : Number 3 : Page 156 : Mar 2012
Tooth anomalies in the permanent dentition are rare and often incidental findings in routine orthodontic care. Occasionally, however, an anomaly may have a considerable impact on orthodontic treatment...

Generalized Idiopathic External Root Resorption
Volume 27 : Number 9 : Page 0 : Sep 1993
Root resorption is not in itself an unusual finding; a slight amount of root resorption may be present in all secondary teeth.1 Although a patient may complain that a tooth has suddenly loosened, it c...

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: ...

Use of Bonded Power Arms in Cases with Missing Upper Lateral Incisors
Volume 38 : Number 10 : Page 539 : Oct 2004
There are two basic options for treating patients with missing maxillary lateral incisors. The first is to close the spaces and substitute the canines for the lateral incisors; the second is to redist...

A Removable Class II Appliance for Simultaneous Distalization and Expansion
Volume 39 : Number 10 : Page 613 : Oct 2005
Treatment of a case of Class II malocclusion with maxillary arch constriction and anterior crowding generally involves expanding the arch, distalizing the molars, and aligning the anterior teeth.1-4 T...

A Space Maintainer for Growing Patients with Avulsed Central Incisors
Volume 46 : Number 1 : Page 27 : Jan 2012
Avulsion of the central incisors is not uncommon in children and adolescents who have experienced dental trauma. Although reimplantation is the ideal treatment, the longer the tooth is out of the alve...

Pushing the Extraction Envelope
Volume 49 : Number 5 : Page 297 : May 2015
It seems that the great extraction debate is an inherent artifact of the specialty of orthodontics. I took up the subject in JCO as recently as December 2014, when Drs. Daniel J. Rinchuse, Lauren Sigl...

The Shoulder Spring for Eruption of Impacted Canines
Volume 51 : Number 10 : Page 657 : Oct 2017
The authors present a simple device for forced eruption of impacted canines without special patient compliance. Unlike previous techniques, it avoids using the lateral incisors for anchorage, reducing the possibility of root resorption and the need for additional palatal root torque.

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.
