THE EDITOR'S CORNER
Volume 49 : Number 9 : Page 0 : Sep 2015
Here at JCO, we make it part of our mission to bring new ideas to the practice of orthodontics. Articles on temporary anchorage devices and cone-beam technology that would have come across as science fiction in the not-toodistant past are now commonplace in the orthodontic literature, particularly this journal. Many practitioners, including me, are always excited to try out new techniques, new appliances, and new developments in all areas of the specialty. We pride ourselves in being on the cutting edge - indeed, JCO has a regular department with just that name: "The Cutting Edge".

Having used it numerous times, I promise it will become your favorite technique for controlling stubborn malrotated lateral incisors. NEAL D. KRAVITZ, DMD, MS, Associate Editor for Pearls
