Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
How to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement has been an interesting issue to orthodontists and researchers. Ways being proposed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) include medication, mechanical stimulation, low level laser, corticotomy, periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, and surgery-first orthognathic surgery. Those invasive surgical procedures are used successfully on orthodontic patients for acceleration of OTM. Other non-invasive procedures, though with promising results obtained from animal experiments, await further clinical confirmations. This article reviewed recent clinical and animal studies, and the mechanism of medication, mechanical stimulation and surgical approaches for their effectiveness on OTM.

At present, even if the orthognathic surgical procedure had been improved and the acceptance of surgery increased, the patients and dentists could not be satisfied with simply the recovery of masticatory function. Facial esthetics has become a marked issue. However, everything has its own limitation. There is no single treatment could fulfill all the facial esthetics requirements, not even the orthognathic surgery. If the orthognathic surgery could be combined with other cosmetic surgical procedure, the patients would be more likely to receive relatively compre-hensive treatment. First, this article reviewed the fundamental definition of facial esthetic in psychology. In addition, we …

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
Elastomeric chains were introduced to the orthodontic profession in the 1960s’, and are now an integral part of every day practices. They are used to generate light continuous forces for correcting rotations, consolidating spaces, and retraction canines. They are inexpensive, easily applied, relatively hygienic and require little or no patient cooperation. Elastomeric chain, however, are nor without their disadvantages. When exposed to an oral environment, they absorb water and saliva, permanent stain, and suffer breakdown of internal binds leading to permanent deformation. They also experience rapid loss of force due to stress relaxation, resulting in a gradual loss of effectiveness. …

Application Of Miniscrew Anchorage To Assist Scissors-Bite Correction, Ting-Ting Wu, Ellen Wen-Ching Ko
Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
Posterior complete buccal crossbite, also called scissors-bite or Brodie Bite, is usually difficult to be corrected. In most cases with the occlusion of complete buccal crossbite, the mandibular teeth are lingually tilted, and the maxillary teeth erupt past their antagonists. When using the conventional orthodontic treatment to correct the scissors-bite, extrusion of the molars and subsequent occlusal plane canting frequently occur. Applying miniscrew as direct skeletal anchorage can facilitate the scissors-bite correction without totally depending on patients’ compliance. Two young female adults, with unilateral complete posterior buccal crossbite and Angle Class I malocclusion, were treated with fixed appliance, miniscrews, and …

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
The etiologies of skeletal Class III malocclusion include excessive growth of the mandible, insufficient growth of the maxilla, or the combination of both. The ideal treatment for severe mandibular prognathism is a combination of orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery to setback the mandible. However, nonsurgical approach using mini-implant anchorage could distalize the mandibular dentition and improve the occlusion if the skeletal discrepancy is mild to moderate. In this report, we present the treatment of a 20-year-old male patient with Class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite. Mini-plates were implanted on anterior border of mandibular ramus and used as temporary anchorage devices …

Intrusion Of Supraerupted Maxillary Molar Using Posterior Bite Plate And Mini-Screw, Chih-Kai Huang, Chun-Liang Kuo, Yun-I Wang, I-Hua Liu
Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
Supraerupted maxillary molars usually result from early loss of the opposing mandible molars. This may induce insufficient intermaxillary space and compromised prosthesis. The best way to deal with supraerupted maxillary molars is no doubt to intrude them. For the minor supraeruption of maxillary molars, simply wearing a posterior bite plate could apply vertical force to intrude them. But the larger supraeruption, combination with temporary anchorage device usage will supply more stable anchorage force to intrude maxillary molars back to the normal position. This article reported three cases, one using only posterior bite plate and the others in combination with mini-screw, …
