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 Fallacy of "Extraction Regret Syndrome"
Volume 60 : Number 1 : Page 56 : Jan 2026
The concept of extraction regret is examined as a cultural and clinical phenomenon influenced by misinformation. Using CBCT-based assessment, the authors focus on alveolar boundary conditions, biologic constraints, and the periodontal risks associated with orthodontic tooth movement.

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.

Transdisciplinary Treatment in Implant Rehabilitation of an Upper Central Incisor
Volume 60 : Number 9 : Page 613 : Sep 2026
Miniplate-supported posterior intrusion and distalization close a severe anterior open bite in a 28-year-old, while timed extraction, connective tissue grafting, and delayed implant placement restore a compromised upper central incisor, highlighting close coordination among orthodontic, surgical, periodontal, and restorative specialists.

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...

An Integrated AI Platform for Orthodontic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Volume 60 : Number 9 : Page 582 : Sep 2026
An AI platform combining diagnosis, treatment planning, staging, and outcome simulation in a single workflow, with orthodontist verification at each critical stage, is applied to a 12-year-old patient with moderate crowding, illustrating how AI can streamline case preparation while keeping clinical decisions in the orthodontist’s hands.

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.
