A Modified C-Implant for Simpler and More Efficient Treatment
Volume 57 : Number 8 : Page 469 : Aug 2023
The original C-implant was designed to enable partial osseointegration for stability against rotational moments and heavy forces. This second generation overcomes some drawbacks of the first version while taking advantage of the best characteristics of conventional miniscrews. A typical case is presented.

The High-Pull Palatal Gear (HPPG) Technique for Treating Hyperdivergent Class II Malocclusions
Volume 58 : Number 7 : Page 399 : Jul 2024
The HPPG technique uses a single miniscrew in the anterior midpalate to intrude and retract the entire maxillary dentition. Drs. Lin, Thavarungkul, Chen, and Wang demonstrate the protocol in an adult patient with a hyperdivergent Class II malocclusion.

Esthetic Class II Treatment with the Beneslider and Aligners
Volume 46 : Number 7 : Page 390 : Jul 2012
Maxillary molar distalization is a common treatment method for dental Class II patients with excessive overjet, anterior crowding, or both. Given the unpopularity of headgear among patients,1,2 clinic...

Design Improvements in the Modified C-Palatal Plate for Molar Distalization
Volume 47 : Number 4 : Page 241 : Apr 2013
Although early versions of the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) were used successfully for molar distalization in both adolescents and adults, close contact between the plate and the palatal soft tissu...

Biomechanics of Lower Second-Molar Protraction Using a New Appliance
Volume 50 : Number 12 : Page 736 : Dec 2016
The technique of using absolute anchorage from endosseous implants for protraction of lower molars was introduced by Roberts and colleagues.1 Since the development of mini-implants, many more clinicia...

Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 317 : Jun 2017
In a preadolescent Class III patient, the use of a surgically placed Mentoplate in the anterior mandible facilitates a transfer of protractive forces to the underlying bone structure without the need for extraoral elastics. At the same time, the skeletally anchored Hybrid Hyrax Distalizer provides rapid palatal expansion along with upper-molar distalization.

The Biocreative Strategy Part 2: The Tweemac Analysis
Volume 52 : Number 0 : Page 359 : Jun 2018
In the second part of their series, Drs. Kim, Ahn, Chung, and Nelson describe the measurements and clinical interpretation of the Biocreative diagnostic system. The Tweemac analysis allows simple yet effective evaluation of the patient’s dentofacial characteristics using a minimum number of landmarks.

A Tissue- and Boneborne Rapid Palatal Expander
Volume 54 : Number 4 : Page 230 : Apr 2020
Drs. Lupini, Retrouvey, Decesari, and Cozzani present a new Haas-inspired miniscrew-assisted maxillary expander for application in non-growing patients. Unlike toothborne devices, it provides an orthopedic component of force, using metal pads instead of acrylic to increase rigidity and avoid inflammation.

A New Jig Design for Molar Distalization with Skeletal Anchorage
Volume 54 : Number 5 : Page 302 : May 2020
Sliding jigs can now be combined with temporary anchorage devices to optimize biomechanics for unilateral Class II correction. The authors describe how to fabricate an efficient, esthetic, and inexpensive jig from beta titanium or stainless steel wire.

Volume 55 : Number 11 : Page 20211101 : Nov 2021
Cleidocranial dysplasia is an unusual condition associated with head and clavicle malformations. These authors document a comprehensive orofacial approach involving a variety of extractions, surgeries, and orthodontic mechanics. A 13-year-old patient is followed through 11 years of treatment and for 10 years after treatment.

Maxillary Expansion and Protraction Using Mini-Implants and the Benefit Direct Mechanism
Volume 56 : Number 12 : Page 708 : Dec 2022
The Benefit Direct miniscrew attaches to a Hybrid Hyrax frame using a specially designed ring, as described by Dr. Wilmes and colleagues. This system enables an “appliance-first” approach while customizing the expander to situate the mini-implants in the best palatal bone.
