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.

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.
