Treatment of Snoring and Sleep Apnea with a Tongue Rehabilitation Device
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 400 : Jul 2020
Orthodontists are increasingly involved in identifying obstructive sleep apnea and treating it with intraoral devices. Unlike mandibular advancers, this Tongue Rehabilitator works by raising the tongue and directing it to a more physiological position, thus opening the posterior airway.

The Miniscrew-Anchored Cantilever: A Simple Molar Distalizer
Volume 54 : Number 12 : Page 773 : Dec 2020
A device for “noncompliance” Class II treatment is easily constructed by attaching an .040" cantilever wire between a miniscrew and a molar headgear tube. Distal force is obtained from a nickel titanium closed-coil spring, while the direct skeletal anchorage prevents unwanted side effects on the anterior teeth.

En-Masse Retraction of the Mandibular Arch with Skeletal Anchorage in the Buccal Shelf
Volume 56 : Number 10 : Page 597 : Oct 2022
Bodily distalization of the mandibular arch is achieved with miniscrew anchorage in nonsurgical, nonextraction treatment of this skeletal Class III malocclusion. Passive self-ligating brackets allow lighter forces to be applied for sliding mechanics, and intermaxillary elastics are not required.
