Digital Smile Design and Orthodontic Finishing with the Insignia System
Volume 53 : Number 8 : Page 449 : Aug 2019
Digital technology now offers an effective means of correcting malocclusions from start to finish. Drs. Balut, Popnikolov, and Ades show how the customized brackets and wires of the Insignia system can be combined with skeletal anchorage and micro-osteoperforation to improve efficiency and shorten treatment.

Clinical Application of the PASS Technique
Volume 49 : Number 8 : Page 508 : Aug 2015
Molar anchorage loss has been shown to occur during the early stages of alignment with preadjusted appliances.1,2 The most commonly used archwires for initial alignment are made of nickel titanium, wh...

Considerations Involved in Placing Miniscrews Near the Nasopalatine Bundle
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
Miniscrews are now routinely used as a source of skeletal anchorage in orthodontic practice, with a high reported success rate. One of the safest and easiest areas in the upper arch to place miniscrews is the anterior palate, which offers the thickest bone in the entire region. Although there are no anatomical structures that can be damaged during miniscrew placement, the nasopalatine bundle (NPB) is close enough to the upper incisors to be contacted by a miniscrew, leading to complications such as non-osseointegration or sensory dysfunction.

Forsus Appliance for Treatment of Class II, Division 2 Malocclusion in Adults
Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 347 : Jun 2017
Treatment of a Class II, division 2 patient with no growth remaining has traditionally involved either orthognathic surgery or an orthodontic compromise requiring extraction of the upper first premolars. The authors present a third approach for consideration in borderline cases: nonextraction treatment using the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device, a fixed-functional appliance.

Volume 51 : Number 11 : Page 728 : Nov 2017
This digitally produced insertion guide simplifies one-visit placement of a Hybrid Hyrax expander for early orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion. Alternating maxillary and expansion and constriction are followed by a protraction facemask in the example shown by the authors.

Autotransplantation of Inversely Impacted Central Incisors
Volume 56 : Number 9 : Page 537 : Sep 2022
Autologous transplantation offers several advantages for resolving an inversely impacted maxillary incisor at an early age. Dr. Balut and colleagues demonstrate a case in which orthodontic traction was started three weeks after surgery, using passive self-ligating brackets with light forces.

Volume 58 : Number 1 : Page 29 : Jan 2024
Drs. Boggio and Cozzani focus on a common mistake committed in daily clinical practice, showing how excessive lower-incisor proclination can be avoided with proper planning. A typical patient with severe lower crowding was followed for 29 years after treatment.

Two-Piece Corrector for Class III Skeletal and Dental Malocclusions
Volume 31 : Number 4 : Page 246 : Apr 1997
The Two-Piece Corrector* described in this article was designed to apply biological forces that will counteract any Class III developmental vectors, whether skeletal or dentoalveolar, and correct or m...

Chairside Technique for the Eruption of Ectopic Maxillary Molars
Volume 33 : Number 11 : Page 637 : Nov 1999
The incidence of ectopic maxillary molar eruption has been reported to be about 2-6% of the general population.1-22 Siblings of children with ectopic eruption have an increased risk,12 as do children...

Targeted Mechanics for Treatment of Patients with Severe Short-Root Anomaly
Volume 51 : Number 5 : Page 279 : May 2017
Short-root anomaly (SRA), which was first described by Lind in 1972,1 is characterized by abnormally short and plump roots.1,2 It is commonly misdiagnosed as root resorption, but is in fact a developm...

Initial Management of First Molar Extraction Cases
Volume 22 : Number 4 : Page 0 : Apr 1988
It has been said that loss of the first molars doubles the treatment time and halves the prognosis.1 In orthodontic cases where extraction is unavoidable because of caries (a common problem in develop...

Modified Maxillary Splint for Class II, Division 1 Treatment
Volume 25 : Number 4 : Page 0 : Apr 1991
Class II orthodontic therapy is ideally directed at both the correction of dentoalveolar disharmony and the attainment of an esthetic and functional dental-skeletal relationship.1,2 As a result, a wid...

Clinical Considerations in the Use of Protraction Headgear
Volume 26 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 1992
