Changes in the Condyle-Fossa Relationship in Patients with TMD after Occlusal Deprogramming
Volume 51 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 2017
Common signs and symptoms of TMD include masticatory muscle pain, TMJ sounds, limited mouth opening, and deviations in mandibular movements. Treatment generally involves some combination of occlusal splints, physiotherapy, relaxation therapy, pharmacological intervention, arthroscopic surgery, education, and behavioral counseling. One randomized controlled trial indicated that an occlusal deprogramming splint is more effective than other methods in treating TMD, although another study produced contradictory results.

Evaluation of Mandibular Position for Splint Therapy Using a Virtual Articulator
Volume 54 : Number 8 : Page 466 : Aug 2020
Digital technology offers an alternative to the traditional articulator and facebow transfer used to confirm condylar stability during stabilization splint treatment. In this virtual mounting method, sequential mandibular positions are evaluated based on superimposition of the initial CBCT data with intraoral scans taken at each visit.

Volume 55 : Number 4 : Page 229 : Apr 2021
This simple toothborne device, as described by Dr. Pithon and colleagues, can be installed as soon as the lower first permanent molars have erupted. Combined with rapid maxillary expansion, it eliminates the need for extraoral appliances or miniplate anchorage in a skeletal Class III case.

Combination of Clear Aligners and Beneslider for Correction of Severe Midline Deviation
Volume 55 : Number 11 : Page 675 : Nov 2021
Drs. Wilmes, Schwarze, Vasudavan, and Drescher show how unilateral upper molar distalization can correct a Class II subdivision malocclusion, using a palatally anchored device to prevent anchorage loss during clear aligner therapy. A typical adult case illustrates the technique.

Invisalign Treatment with Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics and Orthognathic Surgery
Volume 57 : Number 5 : Page 264 : May 2023
Dr. Meuli and colleagues demonstrate the use of clear aligners for incisor decompensation and elimination of occlusal interferences before surgery. Regenerative corticotomy is performed two to four weeks into treatment, and power arms and buttons are bonded for intraoperative stabilization. The occlusion is then refined with a short aligner phase.

The Bonded Lingual Retainer and Multiple Spacing of Anterior Teeth
Volume 17 : Number 12 : Page 838 : Dec 1983
In 1977, promising short-term clinical experience (1 to 2.5 years) with 43 bonded lingual canine-to-canine retainers was reported.11 These retainers were made of .032" to .036" wire with loops at the ...

ALIGNER CORNER
Volume 56 : Number 8 : Page 464 : Aug 2022
Using the case of a 12-year-old male with a skeletal Class II malocclusion, the authors measure the effects of MA aligners during the pubertal growth peak. Over 36 weeks, with trays changed weekly, the Precision Wings provide a gradual advancement of 2mm for every eight aligners.

Palatal Root Torque of Maxillary Cuspids Utilizing the Begg Technique
Volume 11 : Number 6 : Page 391 : Jun 1977
Occasionally, the orthodontist finds the apex of a maxillary canine root has been repositioned labially unintentionally, to the extent that the root is palpable (Fig. 1). This may result from a combin...
