THE CUTTING EDGE
Cementation and Removal of 3D-Printed Expanders
Volume 55 : Number 9 : Page 571 : Sep 2021
Dr. Coleman introduces a device that is laser-sintered in the laboratory, based on a routine digital intraoral scan. This technique avoids the drawbacks of traditional banded expanders, which require orthodontic separators, and bonded expanders, which can encroach on the gingival margins and are hard to remove.

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.

3D-Printed Double-Wire Bracket for Anterior Alignment
Volume 51 : Number 7 : Page 377 : Jul 2017
This article describes the production of a fully customized, twin-wire lingual bracket using a 3D printer. Indirect-bonding jigs are printed along with the brackets. The resin material is strong enough to withstand orthodontic forces when two strands of wire are used; friction is minimized by forming the slot entrance as a clip.

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.
