Lingual Step-In Bend for Use with Piggyback Mechanics
Volume 57 : Number 4 : Page 248 : Apr 2023
An impacted canine is often extruded with a nickel titanium piggyback wire. A vertical bend in the base archwire will avoid interference with the erupting tooth; if the canine is in the lower arch, an additional lingual bend avoids contact with the opposing teeth.

CASE REPORT
Volume 57 : Number 7 : Page 397 : Jul 2023
In cleft patients, a maxillary transverse deficiency is often more pronounced in the anterior region. A report of a skeletal Class III case shows how a banded fan-type palatal expander can promote differential expansion and avoid unwanted posterior side effects.

Selective Bracket Bonding for Correction of Mesial Rotations
Volume 57 : Number 9 : Page 511 : Sep 2023
In this Pearl, a relatively well-aligned tooth is initially left unbracketed to allow placement of an open-coil nickel titanium spring that can rotate two adjacent crowded teeth in opposite directions. An example demonstrates quick resolution of a patient’s anterior crowding.

Open-Coil Activation of Impacted Canines
Volume 57 : Number 10 : Page 625 : Oct 2023
A superelastic open-coil spring and power thread are employed to erupt an ectopic maxillary canine in a controlled direction. The elastic thread is tied to the distal end of the compressed coil spring, and as the spring opens, the canine is activated vertically and distally.

Asymmetric Application of the Jasper Jumper in the Correction of Midline Discrepancies
Volume 32 : Number 3 : Page 170 : Mar 1998
Significant midline discrepancies, often due to anchorage loss, must sometimes be corrected during the last phase of orthodontic treatment. Although asymmetrical intermaxillary elastics are the most p...

Multidisciplinary Management of Double-Tooth Anomalies
Volume 43 : Number 7 : Page 0 : Jul 2009
A double tooth is a congenital anomaly in which two adjacent teeth are joined at the crown level (enamel and dentin), forming a single tooth with an enlarged crown.1 Although the cause is unknown, gen...

Miniscrew-Assisted Treatment of a Transposed and Horizontally Impacted Upper Central Incisor
Volume 51 : Number 8 : Page 461 : Aug 2017
The authors describe the successful correction of a rare upper lateral-central incisor transposition associated with dilaceration and horizontal impaction of the central incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography is used for diagnosis and a miniscrew with a special accessory wire for indirect anchorage.

CASE REPORT
Volume 55 : Number 8 : Page 485 : Aug 2021
This report shows a Class II, division 1 patient with severe upper anterior protrusion, in whom anchorage from bilateral miniscrews was used to correct both sagittal and vertical discrepancies with one-stage en-masse retraction.

CASE REPORT
Asymmetrical Skeletal Class III Camouflage Treatment with Clear Aligners and Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 55 : Number 12 : Page 757 : Dec 2021
Miniscrews can provide adequate anchorage for orthodontic camouflage treatment of skeletal Class III cases using clear aligners. A case report shows how a single retromolar miniscrew can be combined with Class III elastics to achieve an asymmetrical correction.

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.
