Nonsurgical Correction of a Severe Class III Open-Bite Patient with Long-Face Syndrome
Volume 56 : Number 9 : Page 517 : Sep 2022
The Class III Carriere Motion 3D appliance is applied in orthodontic camouflage treatment of a complex adult case. After myofunctional therapy, the upper arch is bonded for leveling while the lower posterior segments are distalized with Class III elastics attached to “shorty” Motion 3D devices.

Correction of Severe Unilateral Scissor Bite in Growing Class II Patients
Volume 51 : Number 2 : Page 97 : Feb 2018
Unilateral scissor bites can be especially difficult to correct in adolescent high-angle skeletal Class II patients. Drs. Du, Lin, Ma, Wu, and Li demonstrate stable results from an inventive approach involving asymmetrical extractions, miniscrew-anchored elastic traction, and camouflage orthodontic treatment, without orthognathic surgery.

Closure of Central Incisor Spaces: A 16-Year Follow-Up
Volume 45 : Number 6 : Page 321 : Jun 2011
Permanent teeth, most often the maxillary central incisors, are lost in .5-16% of trauma cases.1 Incisor avulsion occurs most commonly among children age 7-9, when the permanent maxillary incisors hav...

Treatment of Anterior Open Bite with a Mini-Implant-Supported Tongue Crib
Volume 51 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 2017
Anterior open bite is attributable to a combination of skeletal, dental, soft-tissue, and habitual factors. Retained infantile swallowing and tongue-thrust habits are the main causes, but other possibilities include unfavorable growth, heredity, pacifiers and digital habits, enlarged lymphatic tissue, and improper tongue function and posture. Treatment strategies aimed at these different etiologies include behavior modification, orthodontic correction alone, and various combinations of orthodontic and orthopedic or orthodontic and surgical correction.

Facemask Treatment With and Without Maxillary Expansion in Dizygotic Twins
Volume 55 : Number 2 : Page 107 : Feb 2021
Simultaneous interceptive treatment was performed in these twin sisters with Class III malocclusions and anterior crossbites. Facemasks and removable intraoral appliances were used in both, but slow maxillary expansion was added in only one twin. The authors compare the results.

Maxillary Protraction with Miniplate Anchorage in a Patient with Binder Syndrome
Volume 56 : Number 9 : Page 20220901 : Sep 2022
Binder syndrome, also called maxillonasal dysplasia, is a rare congenital deformity. In this mild case, orthodontic camouflage treatment is performed using Class III elastics anchored by four buccal miniplates (two in each arch), followed by full fixed appliances.

Open-Coil Mousetrap for Labially Impacted Canine Recovery
Volume 58 : Number 3 : Page 169 : Mar 2024
The authors use a closed surgical “tunnel” technique with a “mousetrap” loop and additional open-coil springs to promote vertical eruption of an impacted maxillary canine. Their technique is designed to mimic spontaneous eruption and provide more natural gingival relationships.

In-House 3D-Printed Shape Memory Aligners for Retreatment after Fixed Retainer Failure
Volume 58 : Number 6 : Page 345 : Jun 2024
Drs. Sivak, Jo, Nanda, and Bechtold demonstrate the digital design and in-house 3D-printing of customized aligners with thermomechanical shape memory, a property that makes them flexible enough for easy insertion upon exposure to hot water but allows them to regain their shape upon cooling to body temperature.
