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.

Mesialization of Mandibular Molars with Clear Aligners in a Young Class II, Division 2 Patient
Volume 55 : Number 10 : Page 617 : Oct 2021
Few studies have documented the use of clear aligners as an alternative to fixed appliances in extraction cases requiring substantial mandibular molar movement. This report demonstrates the use of Invisalign G6 attachments and Power Ridges in an adolescent patient.

CASE REPORT
Volume 53 : Number 7 : Page 397 : Jul 2019
The “surgery-first” approach appeals to adults who wish to avoid a temporary worsening of their facial appearance during presurgical orthodontics. Drs. Chang, Steinbacher, Nanda, and Uribe show how postsurgical aligner therapy can further enhance the esthetics and acceptability of treatment for such patients.

CASE REPORT
Forced Extrusion of an Endodontically Treated Lower Incisor Prior to Extraction
Volume 57 : Number 8 : Page 459 : Aug 2023
In this case, a periodontally comprised lower central incisor is orthodontically extruded before its extraction, preserving alveolar bone for a lingually blocked-out incisor to replace it. Prior endodontic treatment allows progressive incisal grinding of the extruded incisor to avoid occlusal trauma.

CASE REPORT
Orthodontic Treatment of a Patient after Removal of a Dentigerous Cyst and Supernumeraries
Volume 58 : Number 9 : Page 20240901 : Sep 2024
Supernumerary teeth are associated with complications such as delayed or ectopic eruption and crowding. This case report describes the extended multidisciplinary treatment of a patient with a horizontally impacted lateral incisor caused by previously removed supernumeraries and a dentigerous cyst.

CASE REPORT
Nonsurgical Treatment of an Adult Skeletal Class III Patient with Compensated Dentition
Volume 55 : Number 11 : Page 701 : Nov 2021
Although orthodontic camouflage is possible in moderate adult skeletal Class III cases, decompensation may disrupt the dental-periodontal equilibrium. Drs. Rahima, El-Beialy, and Mostafa demonstrate the use of short Class III elastics to avoid complications associated with conventional intermaxillary elastics.

CASE REPORT
Autotransplantation of a Fully Developed Maxillary Premolar to a Missing Mandibular Premolar Site
Volume 47 : Number 3 : Page 199 : Mar 2013
Agenesis of one or more teeth is among the most common developmental anomalies encountered by orthodontists.1 The reported incidence of permanent-tooth agenesis varies from 1.6% to 9.6%--excluding thi...

Translation of a Tooth Across the Suture to Replace a Fused Upper Central Incisor
Volume 56 : Number 6 : Page 353 : Jun 2022
The authors show a multidisciplinary case in which a central incisor and its fused supernumerary are extracted, and the contralateral incisor is moved across the midline into its place. An available supernumerary lateral incisor is then moved into the position of the relocated central incisor.
