CASE REPORT
Correction of Complete Upper Canine-Premolar Transposition with Palatal Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 50 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 2016
Transposed teeth, found in .3-.4% of the population, have been attributed to either genetic predisposition or a disturbance of eruption guidance. The maxillary arch is affected more frequently than the mandibular arch; the most common transpositions, in descending order, are canine-first premolar, canine-lateral incisor, canine in the site of the first molar, lateral incisor-central incisor, and canine in the site of the central incisor. In females, who are affected more often than males, transpositions occur more frequently on the left, whereas there is no side predilection in males. Associated dental anomalies include missing teeth, peg-shaped incisors, and supernumerary teeth.

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.

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.

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.

Orthodontic Uprighting of a Horizontally Impacted Mandibular Second Molar with a Cantilever Spring
Volume 58 : Number 2 : Page 121 : Feb 2024
To upright an impacted second molar, a cantilever spring is bent from stainless steel wire and inserted beneath the gingiva, along the distal surface of the adjacent first molar. The activation arms are then connected to lingual and buccal brackets on the first molar.

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.
