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.

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.

Volume 58 : Number 1 : Page 48 : Jan 2024
In a case presented by Drs. Kravitz and Mahn, an adult patient loses a central-incisor interdental papilla after a segmented Le Fort I osteotomy and subsequent periodontal osseous surgery. Multiple papilla regeneration surgeries and cosmetic dentistry are required to resolve the situation.

Supercable and the SPEED System
Volume 32 : Number 4 : Page 246 : Apr 1998
The ideal initial archwire has superior strength and flexibility, resists permanent deformation, and maximizes both patient comfort and physiologic tooth movement. The limited flexibility of the origi...

Treatment of Asymmetrical Class II Malocclusion in Adult Patients
Volume 49 : Number 1 : Page 16 : Jan 2015
Class II subdivision malocclusion can result from skeletal asymmetry or from anteriorly positioned maxillary molars or posteriorly positioned mandibular molars on the Class II side.1-4 Treatment optio...

Correction of Severe Unilateral Scissor Bite in Growing Class II Patients
Volume 51 : Number 2 : Page 97 : Feb 2018
Unilateral scissor bites can be especially difficult to correct in adolescent high-angle skeletal Class II patients. Drs. Du, Lin, Ma, Wu, and Li demonstrate stable results from an inventive approach involving asymmetrical extractions, miniscrew-anchored elastic traction, and camouflage orthodontic treatment, without orthognathic surgery.

Volume 55 : Number 9 : Page 543 : Sep 2021
Drs. Matsumoto, Tanna, and Boucher describe a method involving soft-tissue augmentation with a connective tissue graft followed by hard-tissue modification with a bone graft. This approach is designed to restore full periodontal health prior to maxillary molar distalization in adult patients.

Strategies for Compensatory Orthodontic Treatment of Adult Skeletal Open Bite
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 419 : Jul 2021
Dr. Valarelli and colleagues review effective methods for compensatory fixed-appliance treatment of hyperdivergent adult patients with severe skeletal anterior open bites, including first-molar extractions and the use of lingual spurs and intermaxillary elastics. Their protocol is illustrated in a sample case.
