THE CUTTING EDGE
Long-Distance Orthodontic Treatment with Adjunctive Light Therapy
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 757 : Dec 2015
Orthodontists are constantly looking for ways to improve the ease of treatment, patient comfort, and "throughput". Prescription bonded brackets and nickel titanium wires are just two examples of these efforts. In our Cutting Edge column this month, Dr. Timothy Shaughnessy explores another trend in orthodontic treatment: accelerated orthodontics. During my five decades in the profession, various methods for speeding up treatment, including electrical stimulation and hormonal and chemical applications, have occasionally surfaced. None of these has gained widespread acceptance. Now gaining some traction, however, are both invasive procedures that stimulate the body's reparative process and noninvasive vibratory stimulation of the periodontal membrane.

Volume 51 : Number 12 : Page 792 : Dec 2017
This study evaluates postoperative pain levels and interference with daily activities of orthodontic patients after piezocorticision, a method that has been found to reduce the length of treatment. A new surgical guide based on cone-beam computed tomography helps identify precise locations for the incisions, thus avoiding root contact.

Treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea with a Tongue Rehabilitation Device
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 400 : Jul 2020
