Corticotomy-Assisted Orthodontics
Volume 47 : Number 1 : Page 9 : Jan 2013
One of the most frequently heard questions during orthodontic case presentations is, "Why does it have to take so long?" Of course, there is a biomechanical rationale for the length of treatment, but ...

THE CUTTING EDGE
Invisalign Treatment Accelerated by Photobiomodulation
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
This month's Cutting Edge article describes accelerated orthodontic treatment using photobiomodulation (PBM), a low-level light therapy that has been shown to accelerate bone and connective-tissue metabolism for wound healing in medicine. One commercially available PBM device, OrthoPulse, uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce 850 nanometers of light (very near the infrared spectrum), offering a safer mode of treatment than with laser light.

Class II Correction Using Sectional Clear Aligners
Volume 56 : Number 11 : Page 658 : Nov 2022
Drs. Ferris and Rungcharassaeng describe the DF2 Invisalign protocol, in which posterior segments are cut from the maxillary aligners for use with elastics during the early distalization stage of Class II treatment, while the full mandibular aligners are worn. A case example is shown.

Lower Molar Intrusion Using Skeletal Anchorage
Volume 45 : Number 1 : Page 22 : Jan 2011
Until the development of skeletal anchorage,1 it was nearly impossible to intrude lower molars without reciprocal extrusion of the teeth used for anchorage.2-5 Recent articles have reported on the use...

A Box Loop for Intrusion of an Overerupted Molar
Volume 48 : Number 4 : Page 256 : Apr 2014
Any longstanding posterior edentulous area promotes overeruption of the opposing teeth. The resulting space discrepancy may require orthodontic intrusion of the antagonists by methods including molar-...

Clinical Application of the Tongue Elevator
Volume 36 : Number 2 : Page 104 : Feb 2002
