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...

Forced Eruption of a Labially Impacted Canine Using Joined Micro-Implants
Volume 44 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2010
Impaction of a maxillary canine is a common problem because of the tooth'ss long eruption path.1 The canine sometimes erupts labial to the lateral incisor, occasionally causing resorption of the later...

En-Masse Retraction Using Skeletal Anchorage in the Tuberosity and Retromolar Regions
Volume 45 : Number 5 : Page 268 : May 2011
Anchorage conservation has always been a challenge in orthodontics, especially when multiple teeth are moved simultaneously. Headgear and intermaxillary elastics have traditionally been used in such s...

Maxillary Molar Intrusion with a Single Miniscrew and a Transpalatal Arch
Volume 46 : Number 1 : Page 48 : Jan 2012
Supereruption of maxillary molars is a common finding in adult patients, generally caused by premature loss of mandibular first molars and consequent extrusion of the opposing dentition toward the ede...

The Zygoma-Gear Appliance for Maxillary Molar Distalization
Volume 52 : Number 8 : Page 412 : Aug 2018
As described by Drs. Patil, Kerudi, Patil, Tekale, and Verulkar, this modified inner facebow relies on the zygomatic process to anchor upper molar movement without unwanted side effects or the need for patient compliance. The technique is shown in a 14-year-old female patient.

Skeletally Anchored PowerScope 2 for Adult Class II, Division 2 Treatment
Volume 52 : Number 10 : Page 551 : Oct 2018
Class II, division 2 malocclusion can be difficult to correct in adult patients. Drs. Manni and Migliorati illustrate a combination of the fixed-functional PowerScope 2 device with elastic chains to maximize the skeletal effect and miniscrew anchorage to avoid lower incisor flaring.
