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.

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.

OVERVIEW
Interarch Maxillary Molar Distalization Appliances for Class II Correction
Volume 42 : Number 1 : Page 35 : Jan 2008
Class II malocclusion, which affects approximately one-third of patients seeking orthodontic treatment, often reflects both dental and skeletal deviations from the norm.1-3 Because it frequently invol...

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.

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.
