Abstract

Class II/1 malocclusion needs strict vertical control in order to obtain a mandibular response and correction of the sagittal discrepancy. These objectives can be achieved not only in one-stage treatments but also in two stages, when clinicians decide to perform functional therapy for psychological, traumatological or social reasons. This paper reports on expression of mandibular response and directional forces in a two-stage class II/1 malocclusion using a new functional appliance. The Paolone-Kaitsas (PK) appliance provides vertical control and occlusal plane management during the very first phases of treatment. It prepares the anchorage of the denture used in the second phase of treatment., (Copyright © 2017 CEO. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

In orthodontics, as in medicine in general, there is always only one diagnosis. For a given diagnosis, several treatment solutions are available. While these are hard and fast rules, the techniques adopted by orthodontists can vary and yet remain effective, without placing constraints on the practitioner. The lingual technique, originally designed to meet the demands of adult patients for "invisibility" is now comparable or even superior in terms of precision to vestibular techniques. Three clinical Class III cases involving adults and three distinct treatment options are described in this paper., (Copyright © 2010 CEO. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

This paper outlines the clinical advantages of the lingual straight wire technique using the Orapix digital system. With this technique, incisor brackets can be positioned very close to the lingual surfaces thus enabling enhanced three-dimensional control. The elimination of wire bends facilitates space closure and reduces chair time. Combining the high precision available with the system and the use of customized archwires, teeth are moved gradually towards the ideal position as defined on the virtual set-up by each user., (Copyright 2010.
