    Case Presentation    

Thick Frenum

This doc is concerned that his 6-year-old patient’s upper frenum is so thick that her U1’s are not erupting as planned.

HSD—A New Twist to CL2 Correction
A doc presents a sectional technique called HDS, which allows the posterior segments to distalize without any cross-arch stabilization. Is this an option you’d try in your practice?
Burstone Intrusion
The need to do a Burstone intrusion has this ortho needing dual-slot brackets, or a clever alternative. Will piggybacking two wires into a convertible slot work? See what Townies have to say.

Sweeping Away the Myths in Orthodontics: The Extraction/Non-Extraction Debate
by Dr. Richard A. Litt
In recent years a great deal of misinformation has been presented in the name of continuing education in orthodontics. Misrepresentation of credentials, as well as empirical or anecdotal support for clinical procedures without any biological basis, have been used to promote orthodontic procedures to general or pediatric dentists incorporating orthodontics into their practices. It is time to hear the facts! If you are presently practicing orthodontics or intend to incorporate orthodontics into your practice, you owe it to yourself and your patients to find out the truth and separate fact from fiction. This course addresses the controversial topic of whether we should extract premolars to make space in orthodontics.
