Surgical and Orthodontic Treatment of a Fused Maxillary Central Incisor and Supernumerary Tooth
Volume 48 : Number 10 : Page 654 : Oct 2014
Fusion and gemination are relatively rare developmental anomalies affecting both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. Fusion is a union of two separate tooth buds during embryologic development of ...

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.

Correction of Upper Midline Deviations with the Mesial-Distalslider
Volume 59 : Number 7 : Page 425 : Jul 2025
Drs. De Felice, Caruso, Drescher, and Wilmes describe the use of the Mesial-Distalslider, which corrects asymmetry by combining the mechanics of the Beneslider and the Mesialslider to simultaneously distalize on one side of the upper arch and mesialize on the other.

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
Patients with skeletal Class III malocclusions are among the most difficult to treat. One reason for this may be their relative scarcity--about 5% of the U.S. population vs. 20% with Class II skeletal...

Modified Lingual Lever Arm Technique
Volume 27 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 1993
The adaptability of the periodontal tissue to orthodontic forces declines with age.1 Therefore, any adult patient should undergo periodontal examination prior to and during orthodontic treatment, and ...

The Role of Occlusal Forces in Open-Bite Treatment
Volume 34 : Number 1 : Page 23 : Jan 2000
Occlusal forces have acquired a bad name in dentistry. Obviously, clenching, grinding, and other such abnormal activities can lead to TMJ disorders, headaches, and attrition of the teeth.1,2 Normal oc...

Transitional Implants for Orthodontic Anchorage
Volume 11 : Number 11 : Page 659 : Nov 2000
The efficacy of orthodontic anchorage provided by skeletal implants has been well demonstrated.1-7 Conventional endosseous implants have substantial limitations, however, including their cost, the n...

The Straight-Wire Concept in Lingual Orthodontics
Volume 35 : Number 1 : Page 46 : Jan 2001
The lingual orthodontic technique of Fujita1-3 uses a mushroom archform because of the morphology of the lingual tooth surfaces.4 We found, however, that if we cut the clinical crowns off a plaster ca...

A Preadjusted Edgewise Approach to Cases with Anterior Crowding
Volume 37 : Number 9 : Page 496 : Sep 2003
Initial bracketing of crowded incisors with preadjusted edgewise appliances can lead to undesirable side effects because, with the angulation built into the preadjusted canine brackets, the crowded an...

The Rationale for Maxillary Second Premolar Extractions in Adult Class II Treatment
Volume 41 : Number 8 : Page 0 : Aug 2007
Most Class II, division 1 and 2 malocclusions are amenable to nonextraction treatment in the late mixed dentition. In these patients, the maxillary arch can usually be adapted to the mandibular arch w...

Deep-Bite Correction Using a Clear Aligner and Intramaxillary Elastics
Volume 43 : Number 3 : Page 0 : Mar 2009
Deep bite can be corrected by intrusion of anterior teeth, extrusion of posterior teeth, or a combination of the two.1 Anterior intrusion is often indicated in patients with excessive maxillary inciso...
