Dual Action Vertical Intra-Arch Technique
Volume 56 : Number 11 : Page 666 : Nov 2022
The DAVIT device, introduced here by Dr. Barros and colleagues, simultaneously intrudes the posterior teeth and extrudes the anterior teeth for open-bite correction, using bracket-head mini-implants as anchorage. Advantages over other nonsurgical techniques are illustrated with a case report.

A Digitally Planned Tandem Skeletal Expander and Hybrid Aligner Approach
Volume 57 : Number 1 : Page 32 : Jan 2023
This article describes a two-phase approach for treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency in adult patients, involving an initial stage of maxillary expansion with the Tandem Skeletal Expander followed by an orthodontic stage using clear aligner therapy. A typical case is presented.

Volume 57 : Number 9 : Page 522 : Sep 2023
Retromolar miniscrews are used to anchor en masse mandibular distalization in hyperdivergent Class III treatment. The lower third molars are extracted to provide space for the miniscrews and the distal movement, while various measures are taken to prevent anterior torque loss.

Rigid Implant Anchorage to Close a Mandibular First Molar Extraction Site
Volume 12 : Number 12 : Page 0 : Dec 1994
The mandibular first, maxillary first, mandibular second, and maxillary second molars were the four most commonly missing teeth in an adult sample.1 Assuming a distal abutment is available, a fixed pa...

Time: A New Orthodontic Philosophy
Volume 32 : Number 1 : Page 44 : Jan 1998
Although the SPEED* bracket was introduced by Hanson in 1980,1,2 interest in "self-ligating" bracket systems has only recently reached a peak.3-12 Another early bracket, the Mobil-lock**, works effect...

Step-By-Step Traction of a Palatally Impacted Canine
Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 335 : Jun 2017
Two-phase treatment of a mixed-dentition patient with a palatally impacted canine is described and illustrated. After surgical exposure of the canine, the authors perform distal traction with miniscrew anchorage to relieve the obstruction caused by the adjacent lateral incisor. Under the guidance of cone-beam computed tomography, the canine is then moved into appropriate position for forced eruption into the arch.

Treatment of Labially Impacted Upper Central Incisors
Volume 49 : Number 11 : Page 701 : Nov 2015
When the parents or the general dentist notices erupted upper lateral incisors and only one erupted central incisor in an 8-to-10-year-old child, it raises the possibility of an impacted upper central incisor - a significant esthetic concern. Treatment of such a patient in the mixed dentition requires an understanding of the eruption pattern of the permanent teeth. If the single central incisor had erupted six months previously, for example, or the lateral incisors had erupted before the central incisor, it would indicate a developmental problem requiring further investigation.

Clinical Overview of InBrace Generation 2.0
Volume 57 : Number 7 : Page 376 : Jul 2023
Dr. Weissheimer and colleagues describe recent modifications and improvements to the original lingual InBrace system, including a redesigned bracket and a new Smartwire with lockets for nonsliding mechanics. The digital workflow is summarized, and a typical case is presented.

Biomechanics of Severe Open-Bite Treatment with Temporary Anchorage Devices
Volume 58 : Number 11 : Page 670 : Nov 2024
In this article, Drs. Azami, Bashir, Schiro, and Uribe outline the biomechanics involved in correcting a severe open bite and describe the design of a TAD-supported palatal appliance that uses hooks for precise, multidirectional force application.

The Biocreative Strategy Part 4: Molar Distalization in Nonextraction Treatment
Volume 52 : Number 9 : Page 462 : Sep 2018
In Biocreative mechanics, the force application from C-implants and elastics for full-arch distalization begins as soon as brackets are bonded. Two direct-pushing methods, using either the head or neck of the miniscrew, are presented by Drs. Chung, Kim, Choo, Kim, and Nelson.

A Simple Technique for Molar Uprighting
Volume 31 : Number 2 : Page 119 : Feb 1997
Loss of a first permanent mandibular molar should be immediately addressed by prosthetic replacement or orthodontic space closure. Otherwise, the second and third molars will incline and rotate mesiol...

Volume 57 : Number 12 : Page 735 : Dec 2023
In this protocol from Dr. Carlucci and colleagues, a hybrid miniscrew-supported rapid palatal expander with protraction facemask hooks is prescribed to correct maxillary retrusion during late adolescence, followed by an orthodontic phase with fixed appliances and Class III elastics.

Treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea with a Tongue Rehabilitation Device
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 400 : Jul 2020
Orthodontists are increasingly involved in identifying obstructive sleep apnea and treating it with intraoral devices. Unlike mandibular advancers, this Tongue Rehabilitator works by raising the tongue and directing it to a more physiological position, thus opening the posterior airway.

Orthognatic Surgery Combined with Clear Aligner Therapy
Volume 55 : Number 1 : Page 44 : Jan 2021
Drs. Lou and Caminiti provide recommendations for surgical-orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, including a typical workflow for presurgical orthodontics, tips for prescribing aligners, effective methods of temporary maxillomandibular fixation, and techniques for postoperative management.
