Interproximal Stripping for the Treatment of Adult Crowding
Volume 34 : Number 7 : Page 424 : Jul 2000
Crowding can be defined as a quantitative discrepancy between the clinical length of the dental arch and the sum of the mesiodistal widths of the teeth. While crowding may occur in the anterior or po...

Volume 55 : Number 4 : Page 229 : Apr 2021
This simple toothborne device, as described by Dr. Pithon and colleagues, can be installed as soon as the lower first permanent molars have erupted. Combined with rapid maxillary expansion, it eliminates the need for extraoral appliances or miniplate anchorage in a skeletal Class III case.

Functional Appliance Treatment of Severe Class II Malocclusion in the Early Mixed Dentition
Volume 37 : Number 2 : Page 69 : Feb 2003
The objectives of early orthodontic intervention are to correct obvious problems and to intercept developing problems and prevent them from becoming worse.1,2 Class II malocclusions with more than 6mm...

Nonextraction Treatment of Severe Crowding with a Self-Ligating Appliance
Volume 54 : Number 12 : Page 765 : Dec 2020
The arch expansion that can be obtained with self-ligating brackets and high-tech archwires can avoid the need for extractions. In this case, transverse development is used to correct extreme lower crowding in an adult patient without adversely affecting his balanced profile.

Orthodontic Treatment of a Patient with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Volume 39 : Number 7 : Page 435 : Jul 2005
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by either partial or total deficiency of insulin or by a resistance to that hormone, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels and subseque...

Comparison of Three Options for Neuromuscular Deprogramming Treatment
Volume 56 : Number 1 : Page 20220101 : Jan 2022
In this randomized clinical trial, the effectiveness of a neuromuscular deprogramming appliance in treating TMD is evaluated using three common protocols: the appliance alone, the appliance with diode laser therapy, and the appliance with botulinum toxin injections.

Orthodontic Movement of Posterior Teeth into a Corticocancellous Bone-Block Allograft Area
Volume 50 : Number 7 : Page 0 : Jul 2016
Orthodontic treatment of adult patients often involves such complicating factors as periodontal defects associated with a reduced level of attachment.1 Alveolar resorption is progressive and irreparab...

Treatment of Mandibular Canine Agenesis with Bone-Anchored Protraction of Posterior Teeth
Volume 54 : Number 7 : Page 419 : Jul 2020
A 10-year-old patient with a missing lower permanent canine, retained deciduous canine, and peg-shaped upper lateral incisor is treated with rapid maxillary expansion and skeletally anchored orthodontic space closure, thus avoiding the need for future implant rehabilitation.

Volume 21 : Number 7 : Page 0 : Jul 1987
Since the advent of cephalometric radiography, orthodontists have focused on the lateral x-ray as their primary source of patient skeletal and dentoalveolar data. However, the frontal (PA) and basilar...

Combined Fixed-Functional Class II Treatment
Volume 28 : Number 1 : Page 0 : Jan 1994
Class II, division 1 and 2 cases often involve both dental and skeletal problems. Functional appliances have been shown to produce beneficial effects in growing patients with Class II malocclusions, b...

Scanatron Enhancement of Radiographic Contrast
Volume 28 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 1994
Radiographs have a wide range of contrast, from hard features such as bone or orthodontic brackets (appearing white) to soft tissues of varying densities (some almost black). The tonal range between t...

Vertical Bracket Positioning Using the Marginal Ridge as Reference
Volume 54 : Number 5 : Page 284 : May 2020
Drs. Lima and Freitas provide a rationale for using the marginal ridge as a guideline for bonding preadjusted brackets to the posterior teeth. The first premolars then serve as references for the anterior bracket positions. Two typical cases are shown.

Maintaining Anchorage with a Combination Nance-Goshgarian Transpalatal Arch
Volume 32 : Number 11 : Page 681 : Nov 1998
Many methods of distalizing molars have demonstrated their efficiency in recent years (A). The most difficult problem, however, is to maintain anchorage while the anterior teeth are retracted. Combini...

Volume 8 : Number 8 : Page 455 : Aug 2002
Fixed appliance treatment of Class II malocclusions often requires intrusion and retraction of the anterior segment, which, in turn, usually necessitate mechanical reinforcement of posterior anchorage...

Impacted Incisors with Dilacerated Roots
Volume 36 : Number 11 : Page 641 : Nov 2002
An 18-year-old patient presented with two impacted upper central incisors, both with dilacerated roots. The intraoral examination showed a Class I molar and canine relationship on the right side and a...

Biomechanics of Skeletal Anchorage, Part 1: Class II Extraction Treatment
Volume 40 : Number 4 : Page 261 : Apr 2006
The outcome of orthodontic treatment often depends on the preservation of posterior anchorage. In recent years, "absolute" skeletal anchorage has been introduced,1 with conventional dental implants,2 ...

Biomechanics of Skeletal Anchorage, Part 2: Class II Nonextraction Treatment
Volume 40 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2006
Skeletal Class II cases are often corrected by dentoalveolar compensation after extraction of the upper first premolars. Extractions are also used in some patients to eliminate anterior crowding. Many...

Late Expression of Class III Malocclusion
Volume 45 : Number 5 : Page 275 : May 2011
Early intervention in a Class III case with some combination of a protraction face mask, Frankel and fixed appliances, and a chin cup generally has a good prognosis,1,2 as long as the patient is follo...

A Space Maintainer for Growing Patients with Avulsed Central Incisors
Volume 46 : Number 1 : Page 27 : Jan 2012
Avulsion of the central incisors is not uncommon in children and adolescents who have experienced dental trauma. Although reimplantation is the ideal treatment, the longer the tooth is out of the alve...

Volume 56 : Number 10 : Page 567 : Oct 2022
The sliding jig presented by Drs. Pithon, Vieira, Souza, and Freitas is designed to move teeth laterally with support from mini-implant anchorage, thus avoiding unwanted side effects. A complex case is shown in which an incisor was moved across the midline.
