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 ...

Responsible Remote Monitoring for Orthodontic Practices
Volume 59 : Number 7 : Page 442 : Jul 2025
Practices can meet patients’ increasing demand for convenience by using remote monitoring to limit trips to the office while enabling early problem detection, dynamic scheduling, and easier communication. Dr. Layman outlines best practices for incorporating this technology.

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.

Volume 50 : Number 9 : Page 0 : Sep 2016
Pathological migration of anterior teeth, which is related mainly to bone loss, is common among periodontally compromised patients.1,2 Its overall prevalence is reportedly between 30%2 and 55.8%.1 Ext...

Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Condylar Hyperplasia
Volume 53 : Number 1 : Page 29 : Jan 2019
Planning treatment for a patient with condylar hyperplasia requires careful investigation of the etiology. In this case, technetium 99m imaging indicated that the patient could be treated first by mandibular distraction and orthognathic surgery, avoiding the need for condylectomy.

Introduction to LightForce Part 1: 3D-Printing the Next Generation of Fixed Appliances
Volume 57 : Number 9 : Page 500 : Sep 2023
Additive manufacturing represents the most recent evolution of CAD/CAM technology in orthodontics. Drs. Waldman, Moshiri, and Bonebreak-Jackson describe how LightForce 3D-printed polycrystalline alumina brackets and LightPlan cloud-based software enable fully customized treatment. A typical case is presented.

Open-Bite Treatment Using Maxillary and Mandibular Miniplates
Volume 49 : Number 6 : Page 398 : Jun 2015
The development of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) has offered new options for treating orthodontic problems such as anterior open bite by means of molar intrusion, Class II malocclusion by maxilla...

A Simple Prediction Method for "Surgery First" Treatment of Skeletal Class II Malocclusions
Volume 58 : Number 7 : Page 428 : Jul 2024
Drs. Khattab, Lutfi, Alzarif, Almallah, and Alawad present a simple acrylic trial splint that simulates the results of mandibular-advancement surgery, avoiding the need for complex technology in treatment planning. The splint then serves as a surgical wafer during the procedure.

Orthodontic Traction of Impacted Upper Canines Using the VISTA Technique
Volume 51 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2017
Upper canines have the longest and most complicated period of tooth development. Because they begin mineralization before the first molars and incisors and take twice as long to completely erupt, they are more susceptible to changes in the normal eruption pathway, leading to the common clinical problem of impaction. The prevalence of impacted upper permanent canines is approximately 1-3% -- more than for any other teeth except the third molars. Palatal impaction is two to three times more common than buccal impaction.

Volume 56 : Number 10 : Page 567 : Oct 2022
The sliding jig presented by Drs. Pithon, Vieira, Souza, and Freitas is designed to move teeth laterally with support from mini-implant anchorage, thus avoiding unwanted side effects. A complex case is shown in which an incisor was moved across the midline.

Class III Correction Using Clear Aligners, Sectional Wires, and Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 57 : Number 1 : Page 54 : Jan 2023
Dr. Arveda and colleagues demonstrated a technique in which clear aligners are trimmed to allow placement of a partial fixed labial appliance with anchorage from a retromolar miniscrew. A case involving extraction of a single lower incisor illustrates their method.

Measuring Symptom Severity with the TMJ Scale
Volume 25 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 1991
Patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) usually seek care in response to specific symptoms. Although pain in the face or head is the most frequent chief complaint,1 a wide variety of symptoms ...

Improving Incisor Torque Control with Nickel Titanium Torque Bars
Volume 33 : Number 4 : Page 224 : Apr 1999
Although rectangular archwires in edgewise bracket slots are an effective means of providing static tooth control, they are an inefficient method of delivering continuous and progressive torquing forc...

The Mini-Distalizing Appliance: The Third Dimension in Maxillary Expansion
Volume 37 : Number 9 : Page 467 : Sep 2003
Since its introduction more than a decade ago, the Pendulum* appliance has undergone numerous changes that have greatly improved patient comfort, ease of placement, stability, and overall treatment re...

Tooth Movement with Essix Mounding
Volume 38 : Number 8 : Page 435 : Aug 2004
The Essix* system of tooth-moving mechanics is based on the philosophy that the orthodontist should have enough control over a case to make in-course corrections at the chair throughout treatment.1-3 ...

Atypical Extractions in Adult Treatment
Volume 49 : Number 5 : Page 312 : May 2015
Adult treatment sometimes dictates an atypical or "strategic" extraction plan, especially in a patient with periodontal problems.1-7 Although the decision to extract a permanent canine with periodonta...

Treatment of Pseudo-Class III Malocclusion with a Modified Reverse Twin Block and Fixed Appliances
Volume 49 : Number 7 : Page 470 : Jul 2015
Pseudo-Class III malocclusion refers to a patient with an anterior functional shift of the mandible resulting from premature contact between lingually inclined maxillary incisors.1-4 Moyers described ...

Multidisciplinary Management of Post-Ankylosis Malocclusion and Mandibular Deformity
Volume 51 : Number 12 : Page 809 : Dec 2017
Ankylosis of the TMJ can lead to severe functional, dental, facial, and esthetic problems that will require a multidisciplinary approach to resolve. The authors present a protocol involving orthodontic alignment and distraction osteogenesis for treatment of adults with long-standing TMJ ankyloses.

THE CUTTING EDGE
Integrating CBCT and Virtual Models for Root Movement with Clear Aligners
Volume 54 : Number 3 : Page 159 : Mar 2020
Dr. D’Alessandro and colleagues describe a 3D data fusion method for creating orthodontic models from optical surface scans and CBCT images. This combined imaging is then used to construct clear aligners with “divots,” providing couples to control root positions in all three planes of space.
