Intrusion of Supraerupted Second Molars with the Palatal Intrusion Fork
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
Loss of a tooth in either arch will result in tipping of the adjacent teeth toward the extraction space, narrowing of the alveolar ridge due to resorption, and supraeruption of the antagonist tooth. T...

Correction of Bilateral Class II Malocclusion Using Heat-Activated Nickel Titanium Wires
Volume 50 : Number 1 : Page 41 : Jan 2016
Various extraoral and intraoral fixed appliances have been used in Class II cases to distalize the upper molars without extractions. The main disadvantage of these appliances is anchorage loss, which may cause mesial tipping of the anterior teeth unless skeletal anchorage is added. There is also some controversy regarding the effectiveness of distalizing appliances once the second and third molars have erupted. This case report describes the use of heat-activated nickel titanium wires for molar distalization, referred to as the Loca-System, to correct a Class II malocclusion with skeletal asymmetry.

A Vestibular Rapid Palatal Expander
Volume 50 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2016
Various types of rapid maxillary expanders have been introduced; while they all have their advantages and disadvantages, each is built around an expansion screw in the palatal area. This article describes a different approach to the orthopedic treatment of a maxilla with transverse bone deficiency. A vestibular expander called the was developed to address some of the drawbacks of traditional expanders and to optimize the disjunctive action of the appliance during its entire period of use in the oral cavity.

Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Upper-Molar Distalization with a Miniscrew-Supported Hybrid Appliance
Volume 50 : Number 8 : Page 0 : Aug 2016
Malocclusions are a result of skeletal imbalances, dentoalveolar problems, or both, with sagittal, transverse, and vertical discrepancies often presenting concurrently. It is not uncommon, for example...

Forsus Appliance for Treatment of Class II, Division 2 Malocclusion in Adults
Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 347 : Jun 2017
Treatment of a Class II, division 2 patient with no growth remaining has traditionally involved either orthognathic surgery or an orthodontic compromise requiring extraction of the upper first premolars. The authors present a third approach for consideration in borderline cases: nonextraction treatment using the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device, a fixed-functional appliance.

Tunnel Traction Procedure for Deeply Impacted Canines and Resorbed Lateral Incisors
Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 784 : Dec 2015
Three-dimensional radiographic studies have found root resorption in 38% of the lateral incisors and 23% of the central incisors associated with impacted canines. Although such damage can occur even when canines erupt normally, the key to success in treating an impacted canine is to achieve correct positioning in the dental arch without causing periodontal defects. A combined surgical-orthodontic approach called the tunnel traction procedure enables physiological eruption of a deeply impacted upper canine while preserving long-term periodontal health. Introduced by Crescini and colleagues, the technique is based on the concept of infracrestal guided eruption. It is recommended for use in cases where the corresponding deciduous teeth provide sufficient space for eruption of the impacted canines.
