Impacted and transposed teeth cause serious difficulties in tooth eruption and movement as well as esthetic and functional outcomes. Proper treatment planning including good biomechanical control is essential in order to avoid side effects during traction and aligning of the impacted and/or transposed teeth. The purpose of the present study was to present a successfully treated female patient having transposed and impacted lower canines by means of a modified lingual arch and fixed orthodontic appliance. A female patient aged 13 years and 9 months presented to the orthodontic department with a chief compliant of bilateral spacing and missing teeth in mandibular dentition. After leveling and creating sufficient space in the mandibular arch for the canines, a modified lingual arch was cemented to the mandibular first molars. The lingual arch had two hooks extending to the distobuccal areas of the canine spaces. Elastic chains were applied between the hooks on the lingual arch and the ligatures tied to the attachments on the canine crowns. The light forces generated by elastic materials caused impacted canines to erupt and tend towards their own spaces in the dental arch. As a result, impacted and transposed lower canines were properly positioned in their spaces, and the treatment results were stable during the retention period.

Pencabutan dini pada gigi desidui seringkali menyebabkan perpendekan lengkung sehingga ruang yang dibutuhkan untuk erupsi gigi permanen kurang. Kaninus ektopik, impaksi premolar dan asimetri rahang adalah kasus yang sering terjadi akibat kurangnya ruang untuk erupsi gigi. Pasien perempuan usia 20 tahun, mengeluhkan gigi gingsul dan tidak rapi. Pemeriksaan objektif menunjukkan crowding rahang atas dan rahang bawah, kaninus maksila kanan atas ektopik, premolar mandibula kanan impaksi, disertai pergeseran midline. Maloklusi Angle kelas I dengan hubungan skeletal kelas I, overbite 1 mm, overjet  1,3 mm, crowding mandibula dan maksila, ektopik kaninus unilateral, impaksi premolar unilateral, asimetri rahang dan pergeseran midline. Pencabutan dilakukan pada 2 gigi premolar pertama rahang atas dan 2 gigi molar pertama rahang bawah yang mengalami nekrosis. Perawatan menggunakan alat cekat teknik Edgewise dengan multiloop. L loop digunakan untuk ekstrusi gigi kaninus ektopik dan menarik impaksi premolar. Asimetri rahang dikoreksi dengan ekspansi lengkung gigi menggunakan mainarchwire. Setelah 7 bulan perawatan, gigi kaninus yang ektopik, impaksi premolar dan crowding terkoreksi. Overjet dan overbite menjadi 2,5 mm. Perawatan masih berlangsung hingga saat ini. Penggunaan multiloop pada teknik Edgewise efektif untuk mengoreksi crowding gigi dan L loop efektif untuk mengekstrusi gigi kaninus ektopik dan impaksi premolar. ABSTRACT: Management of Impacted Premolar, Ectopic Canine and Jaw Asymmetry Case Using Edgewise Technique. The premature loss of primary teeth may reduce the arch length required for permanent teeth eruption. Ectopic canine, premolar impaction and jaw asymmetry are often encountered due to the lack of space for permanent teeth eruption. A twenty-year-old female patient complained an ectopic canine and crowding of upper and lower teeth. The objective examination found maxilla and mandibula crowding, ectopic right maxilla canine, mandibular premolar impaction, and midline shift of maxilla and mandibula. Angle class I malocclusion, overbite 1 mm, overjet 1.3 mm, maxilla and mandibula crowding, unilateral ectopic canine, unilateral premolar impaction, jaw asymmetry and midline shift occurred. Extraction of 2 maxillary first premolars and 2 necrose mandibular first molars was conducted followed by a treatment using fixed orthodontic appliance Edgewise technique with multiloop. The ectopic canine and premolar impaction were extruded using L loop. Jaw asymmetry was corrected by expanding the dental arch using the expanded main archwire. Ectopic canine, premolar impaction, maxilla and mandibula crowding were corrected after 7 months of treatment. The overjet and overbite reached 2.5 mm. The treatment is still ongoing. The multiloop edgewise archwire technique is found effective to overcome dental crowding, and L loop is effective to extrude the ectopic canine and premolar impaction.

Introduction. Functional maxillary orthodontics has a large number of different mobile devices with different effects on craniomandibular system and great capabilities in solving many orthodontic problems. The aim of this article was to show the effects of 9-month treatment of malocclusion class II, division 1 in a 14-year-old female patient using pre-fabricated functional appliance Trainer T4CII. Case Outline. Skeletal distal relation, deep bite, increased overjet, narrowness and irregular position of upper and lower frontal teeth are indicated for orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance. After refusal of fixed appliance therapy, a female patient was proposed treatment with mobile orthodontic appliance. A pre-fabricated functional appliance Trainer T4CII was delivered to the patient. She was motivated and she was wearing appliance at night and 2-3 hours during the day. After 9 months of treatment there was a significant improvement in the position of upper and lower frontal teeth and reshaping of upper and lower dental arch, yet overbite and overjet were corrected. Conclusion. Surprisingly good and fast improvement of all problems within class II, division 1 in a 14-year-old patient was achieved with prefabricated functional appliance Trainer T4CII.

Background. Depending on the indication, and the age of a patient, class II division I malocclusion can be treated by a fixed or mobile orthodontic appliance, with or without teeth extraction. Case report. A treatment of a male patient, 15 years old, with dentoalveolar class II division I was described. On the base of clinical findings, study case analysis, analysis of orthopan and profile cephalogram, there were class II division I with protrusion of frontal teeth and mild crowding in lower jaw assessed. The patient was treated by fixed orthodontics appliances (SWA Roth .022") in both jaws for 18 months, with the retention period of the same length. Conclusion. Fixed ortodontic appliances are necessary when bodily movement of the teeth is indicated - in this case for cuspids distalization and retraction of incisors.

Complete tooth eruption, especially canine, will affect facial esthetic and the harmony. Surgical procedure will helpto expose an impacted tooth determining orthodontically into dental arch. Clinical and radiographic examinationshould be taken for locating the position of the tooth. The flap was designed differently between labially or palatallyimpacted canine. A 16 years old female came to clinic with Class III Angle dental and skeletal malocclusion with animpacted of upper left canine. She was treated with fixed orthodontic appliance using edgewise technique andsurgical exposure using closed-eruption technique. The proper diagnosis and management between oral andmaxillofacial surgery, and orthodontics will guarantee good result.

Introduction: During orthodontic treatment, the risk of gingivitis, periodontal disease and dental caries is increased. For good gingival health during orthodontic therapy, patients must be educated about the importance of daily oral hygiene and also given instructions on plaquecontrol techniques and how to use plaque removal devices properly. Objectives: The aim of this study was to present risk factors for gingivitis during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances as well as methods and resources for prevention of this widespread disease. Conclusion: Maintaining proper oral hygiene is of great benefit not only for gingival health but also for the success of orthodontic treatment and maintenance of treatment results. Beside healthy gingiva, favorable habits in oral hygiene remain life-long.

Abstract Background This study was conducted in order to explore the effects of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on the changes of salivary proteome. This prospective observational pilot study recruited 12 healthy teenage boys with malocclusion treated with a fixed orthodontic appliance and 6 appropriate control participants. Saliva samples were collected a day before and at 0, 2, 7, and 30 days after initialization of treatment, corresponding to the initial, lag, and post-lag phases of OTM. Pooled samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, ELISA, and Western blotting. To date, there is no published data on the presence of BMP molecules or their antagonists in the saliva or in the gingival cervical fluid related to orthodontic conditions. Results A total of 198 identified saliva proteins were classified based on their functional characteristics. Proteins involved in bone remodeling were observed exclusively 30 days post appliance placement, including bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), a BMP antagonist BMP-binding endothelial regulator, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3, cytoskeleton-associated protein 4, and fibroblast growth factor 5. Based on the analysis of protein interactions, BMP4 was found to have a central position in this OTM-related protein network. Conclusions The placement of a fixed orthodontic appliance induced occurrence of proteins involved in bone remodeling in the saliva at a time corresponding to the post-lag period of OTM. Limitations of this study include a relatively small sample size, limited time of monitoring patients, and the lack of interindividual variability assessment.

Relevance. Deep overbite is one of the most frequent malocclusions in children and teenagers of different ages. Distal occlusion with a deep overbite is the most common (59.6-67.6% according to the literature) in early mixed dentition. Most Russian and international authors state in their research that the severity of malocclusion increases with age. The treatment of the pathology in children is relevant due to deterioration of the deep overbite with age, worsening of functional disorders.Materials and methods. The study analyses the treatment results of a child with a deep bite using the authors’ technique.Results. The study demonstrated the advantages of the authors’ technique. The treatment allowed achieving normal dentoalveolar heights in the posterior mandible on molar and premolar eruption, establishing the correct relationship between the upper and lower dental arches that promoted harmonious development of the child’s maxillofacial area. The treatment regulated the length and width of the upper dental arch and corrected its form. The active intrusion of the lower incisors and extrusion of the lower posterior teeth were observed during the treatment. The curve of Spee was restored, and an increased overlap reduced. Occlusal contacts of posterior teeth improved, and deep overbite decreased. The technique is easy to use and allows curing 9-12-year-old children in a short period (7-10 months).Conclusions. The suggested technique treats deep overbite as well as creates conditions for the further harmonious development of the maxillofacial area. Thus, it can be recommended for the treatment in early mixed dentition.

This article presents a successful orthodontic management of a 12-year-old male using a fixed orthodontic appliance (straight wire technique). His orthodontic treatment was hinged on creating enough space to accept an artificial tooth, correcting the horizontal and vertical relationships of the upper incisors to the lower and the midline shift. Ultimately, an esthetic smile was achieved; function and self-esteem were improved when the artificial tooth was finally fixed.
