The Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device as a Fixed Functional Appliance
Volume 45 : Number 8 : Page 463 : Aug 2011
When mandibular retrusion is a factor in Class II malocclusion,1 a functional appliance is often used to advance the mandible.2 To avoid the need for patient compliance in such therapy,3 a number of f...

Volume 47 : Number 1 : Page 50 : Jan 2013
Overerupted molars due to the loss of antagonists are a common clinical finding in adults. Because intrusion of an overerupted molar to permit prosthetic replacement is difficult to achieve without ad...

A New Auxiliary Spring for Correction of a Canted Incisal Plane
Volume 48 : Number 8 : Page 500 : Aug 2014
Although the variable relationship between the teeth and the hard and soft tissues makes it impossible to define dentofacial parameters that will be valid for all patients, everyone agrees that symmet...

Autotransplantation of a Second Premolar to Replace a Traumatized Central Incisor
Volume 48 : Number 9 : Page 570 : Sep 2014
Integration of the knowledge, skills, and experience of multiple dental disciplines and associated fields is often required in comprehensive treatment. Rapid scientific and technological advances make...

Mini-Implant-Supported Orthodontic Extrusion and Restorative Treatment of Fractured Teeth
Volume 50 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 2016
Traumatic fracture of anterior teeth can have both dental and psychological effects. A tooth fracture below the gingival attachment or alveolar bone crest also presents restorative problems. Failure to place the crown margins on sound tooth material may violate the biologic width and would therefore be considered a restorative failure.

From Planning to Delivery of a Bone-Borne Rapid Maxillary Expander in One Visit
Volume 51 : Number 4 : Page 198 : Apr 2017
Miniscrews were initially proposed as a means of overcoming problems with dental anchorage due to poor patient compliance or the limits of orthodontic biomechanics.1,2 More recently, intriguing new ap...

A Superelastic Loop for Uprighting Mesially Impacted Lower Second Molars
Volume 53 : Number 12 : Page 726 : Dec 2019
The original Loca-System used a loop of rectangular superelastic nickel titanium wire to distalize maxillary molars. This modification of the loop can be used to recover and upright a deeply impacted mandibular second molar, as demonstrated in an adult patient.

The Non-Helix Appliance: An Alternative to the Quad Helix
Volume 55 : Number 2 : Page 122 : Feb 2021
Dr. Gerald Spencer introduces the non-helix, a versatile, comfortable expander constructed from .036" round beta titanium wire. He shows how the appliance can be adapted to correct mesial first-molar rotations, distalize molars on one or both sides, or open the bite.

Anchor-Lock System Double-Y for Post-SARPE Retention and Simultaneous Molar Distalization
Volume 57 : Number 2 : Page 110 : Feb 2023
Dr. Okuhashi and colleagues describe a palatal plate that is anchored by four titanium miniscrews. As illustrated in an adult patient, the Anchor-Lock System Double-Y is designed to maintain surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion while distalizing or protracting the molars.

Mandibular Protraction Appliance IV
Volume 35 : Number 1 : Page 18 : Jan 2001
Articles published by Pancherz1,2 on the Herbst* appliance in the last two decades seem to have stimulated the development of several other fixed appliances that work according to the same mechanical...

Surgical Correction of Mesially Impacted Mandibular Second Molars
Volume 37 : Number 4 : Page 209 : Apr 2003
Partial or total impaction of mandibular second molars can prolong orthodontic treatment, especially in deep-bite cases, where leveling these teeth is the key to correcting the curve of Spee. Such imp...

Early Orthopedic Class III Treatment with a Modified Tandem Appliance
Volume 37 : Number 4 : Page 218 : Apr 2003
Growing patients with dentofacial deformities characterized by either a midfacial deficiency or true mandibular prognathism are perhaps the most challenging cases for the clinician to manage. In patie...

Predictability of Orthodontic Forced Eruption in Developing an Implant Site: A Systematic Review
Volume 50 : Number 8 : Page 0 : Aug 2016
(Editor’s Note: In this regular column, JCO provides an overview of a clinical topic of interest to orthodontists. Contributions and suggestions for future subjects are welcome.) For teeth with a hope...

Use of 3D Metrology Software to Analyze Aligner Treatment Outcomes after Lower-Incisor Extractions
Volume 57 : Number 12 : Page 747 : Dec 2023
Extraction of a single lower incisor and interproximal reduction can facilitate clear aligner treatment for the relief of severe crowding. Drs. Giulieri, Weir, and Freer use a 3D modeling program to assess the accuracy of such treatment, as compared with the predicted results.

Distal Movement of Lower Molars with Miniplate Anchorage
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
The permanent teeth most likely to become impacted are the upper and lower third molars and the upper canines, followed by the lower premolars. Impaction of lower first permanent molars is rare, with an estimated prevalence of .01%. Treatment options include extraction, with or without osseointegrated implant placement, dental luxation, or orthodontic loading; orthodontic treatment with intra- or extraoral devices; and orthodontic extrusion with screws or plates as temporary skeletal anchorage. Because normal eruption of the lower first and second molars is essential for development and coordination of the dental arches and the facial skeleton, a conservative treatment plan aimed at proper positioning of these teeth in the mandibular arch should be considered whenever possible.

The Lingual Arch in the Mixed Dentition
Volume 7 : Number 2 : Page 111 : Feb 1973
A large percentage of patients referred for orthodontic treatment are in the mixed dentition. When they are referred in the early mixed dentition, the orthodontist usually suggests postponement of com...

Treatment of Multiple Ankylosed Teeth Using a Piezoelectric Device
Volume 47 : Number 11 : Page 656 : Nov 2013
Ankylosis is a fusion of alveolar bone with the cementum and/or dentin that may occur either before or after tooth eruption.1 The molars, particularly the mandibular second deciduous molars, are most ...

Interdisciplinary Treatment of Gingival Recession
Volume 50 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2016
Gingival recession may be localized or generalized, but always involves at least one tooth surface. It occurs more often in the mandibular arch than in the maxillary arch. Gingival displacement can become a critical complication, leading to esthetic complaints, root sensitivity, loss of periodontal attachment, difficulty in performing oral hygiene, and increased risk of root caries. Exposed root surfaces are also more prone to abrasion from brushing.
