Correction of Anterior Open Bite Using Maxillary Third Molar Anchorage
Volume 43 : Number 12 : Page 0 : Dec 2009
The use of skeletal anchorage in orthodontic treatment has increased exponentially in recent years. One advantage of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is that they apply orthodontic force without dis...

CASE REPORT
Sequential Headgear Therapy with a Conventional Facebow and a Modified Asher Facebow
Volume 34 : Number 4 : Page 239 : Apr 2000
High-pull headgear is often used in the treatment of dolichofacial Class II patients because of a force system that can be described as follows: The center of resistance of the first molar is located ...

CASE REPORT
Management of a Transmigrant Lower Canine without Skeletal Anchorage in a Growing Class II Patient
Volume 57 : Number 9 : Page 537 : Sep 2023
Forced eruption of a transmigrant ectopic canine is performed using a lower lingual holding arch with a cantilever arm. The closed elastic traction is activated distally and labially, away from the roots of the lower incisors, to avoid resorption.

CASE REPORT
Guided Eruption of Multiple Impacted Teeth Using a Modified Miniplate
Volume 49 : Number 4 : Page 273 : Apr 2015
The etiology of impaction is multifactorial1; causes may include genetic predisposition, mesiodens or multiple supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxillary region,2,3 odontogenic tumors such as odont...

CASE REPORT
Combining Skeletal Anchorage and Intermaxillary Elastics in Class II Treatment
Volume 52 : Number 4 : Page 227 : Apr 2018
Drs. Manni, Lupini, and Cozzani describe an innovative combination of Class II elastics and temporary anchorage devices. Their treatment takes advantage of the versatility of intermaxillary elastics in producing reliable sagittal and extrusive forces, while avoiding the side effects associated with anchorage loss.

CASE REPORT
Occlusal-Plane Control in a Hyperdivergent Adult Class II, Division 2 Patient
Volume 57 : Number 7 : Page 419 : Jul 2022
In this camouflage treatment, the authors achieved clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane with a Forsus appliance and indirect anchorage from three maxillary miniscrews. Lower-incisor proclination was controlled by using negative-torque brackets and adding lingual crown torque to the archwire.

CASE REPORT
Correction of Bilateral Class II Malocclusion Using Heat-Activated Nickel Titanium Wires
Volume 50 : Number 1 : Page 41 : Jan 2016
Various extraoral and intraoral fixed appliances have been used in Class II cases to distalize the upper molars without extractions. The main disadvantage of these appliances is anchorage loss, which may cause mesial tipping of the anterior teeth unless skeletal anchorage is added. There is also some controversy regarding the effectiveness of distalizing appliances once the second and third molars have erupted. This case report describes the use of heat-activated nickel titanium wires for molar distalization, referred to as the Loca-System, to correct a Class II malocclusion with skeletal asymmetry.

CASE REPORT
Upper Canine Extrusion Using Temporary Anchorage Devices and Clear Aligners
Volume 57 : Number 1 : Page 63 : Jan 2023
This adult patient presented with an ectopic upper left canine and an impacted upper right canine. After traction of the impacted canine with a cantilever spring and miniscrew anchorage, the case is completed with two stages of clear aligner therapy.

CASE REPORT
Forced Eruption of an Impacted Third Molar Using a Bracket-Head Miniscrew
Volume 44 : Number 5 : Page 313 : May 2010
The frequency of second-molar impaction is reportedly only .08% in the maxilla and .01% in the mandible.1 When a second molar requires extraction because of ankylosis or unfavorable positioning, the t...

CASE REPORT
Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 353 : Jun 2017
This case of an adult patient with bimaxillary protrusion is complicated by the need to extract posterior teeth due to extensive caries. Skeletally anchored molar protraction allows asymmetrical mechanics to be used for extraction space closure, making the authors’ technique a potential alternative to prosthetic restoration of the edentulous areas.

Adjusting Force Vectors During Maxillary Retraction with Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 45 : Number 8 : Page 453 : Aug 2011
Whatever treatment method is used for maximum bodily retraction in extraction cases, the clinician's ability to control the mechanics will determine the outcome. One of the inherent limitations of ort...
