Retreatment of Class II malocclusion with uncontrolled loss of anchorage by miniscrews and sliding jigs: A case report

The incorporation of miniscrews into orthodontic eld has allowed for more predictable anchorage control and increased the ability to correct severe skeletal and dental discrepancies. In addition to that, many of orthodontic cases with uncontrolled loss of anchorage became more reversible cases and the possibility for retreating them has increased with miniscrews. This case report describes upper molar distalization by the use of miniscrews and sliding jigs to retreat Class II malocclusion case with uncontrolled loss of anchorage. The use of sliding jigs supported by miniscrew in this case was helpful in distalization of upper molars and treatment of uncontrolled loss of anchorage

Scalable Tool for Holding and Placement of Orthodontic Brackets

An essential component of orthodontic therapy that affects the effectiveness of care and patient results is the positioning of orthodontic brackets precisely. This abstract introduces the idea of a “Scalable Tool for Holding and Placement of Orthodontic Brackets,” which is intended to overcome the difficulties of manually placing orthodontic brackets. This ground-breaking device combines bracket holding, positioning aids, pressure control, and measuring features, making it flexible for use with different bracket types and tooth kinds. It attempts to increase bracket placement accuracy, efficiency, and consistency while decreasing bond failures and treatment adjustments. The tool’s user-friendliness and hygienic standards are enhanced by its ergonomic design and sterilizable components. This tool has the potential to streamline orthodontic treatments, reduce patient chair time, and enhance overall treatment by expediting the bracket insertion procedure. To enable successful integration into orthodontic practice, future research and development will concentrate on safety, legal compliance, and ethical factors
