RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of transpalatal (TPA) wire dimension and temporary skeletal anchorage device (TSAD) position on maxillary molar intrusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The maxillary molar intrusion measurement system included a maxillary acrylic model, TPA, TSADs, and a three-dimensional Force/Moment (F/M) sensor. The intrusion patterns were categorized into six groups: buccal-mesial, buccal-distal, buccal-mesiodistal, palatal-mesial, palatal-distal, and palatal-mesiodistal. TPA wire dimensions were designed to be 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.2 mm. The force and moment loads of the maxillary first molar were measured by the F/M sensor. RESULTS: Single buccal or palatal TSADs induced torquing movement, and single mesial or distal TSADs tended to promote tipping movement. Mesiodistal TSADs would have eliminated tipping, but accentuated torquing movement. The TPA significantly reduced the force and moment experienced by the maxillary first molar along three-dimensional axes. The thicker the TPA wire, the smaller the force and moment to which the maxillary first molar was subjected. CONCLUSIONS: Precise placement of TSADs might have a substantial influence on tooth movement and should be determined in accordance with specific clinical requirements. Increasing the TPA wire dimension could diminish the tipping, torquing, and rotation during TSAD-assisted maxillary molar intrusion, but these tendencies could not be completely eliminated.

This case report describes successful orthodontic retreatment for vertical control with nonextraction orthodontic therapy. A 31-year-old woman complained of anterior open bite and crowding. She had slightly protrusive lips but wanted to correct her malocclusion without extraction. Two palatal temporary skeletal anchorage devices were used for the distalization of the maxillary arch along with posterior intrusion. Mandibular distalization was performed with Class III elastics. The duration of active treatment was 22 months. The plain and efficient mechanics used contributed to the effective distalization of both arches, the intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth, and favorable profile changes. The results were still stable at the five-year follow-up period.

A double J retractor (DJR) and palatal miniscrews were used to retract maxillary anterior teeth after failure of buccal posterior miniscrews. The line of action passing through the center of resistance of the maxillary anterior teeth and the moment generated by the palatal miniscrews via torquing springs successfully controlled the overbite and incisor torque during space closure. The DJR and palatal miniscrews work well with labial fixed appliances to address bimaxillary protrusion.

Missing posterior teeth and posterior tooth extractions are commonly seen and needed within orthodontic practices. With the invention of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs), clinicians can now effectively close posterior tooth spaces. Various molar occlusions are discussed to help clinicians envision post-treatment occlusions after posterior teeth space closure using TSADs.

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to evaluate the treatment effects of the antero-posterior lingual retractor (APLR), focusing on the 3-dimensional (3D) tooth movement of the maxillary anterior teeth and their alveolar bone levels. METHODS: En masse retraction was performed using either the C-lingual retractor (CLR, C-group, n = 9) or the antero-posterior lingual retractor (APLR, AP-group, n = 8). We evaluated 3D movement of the maxillary anterior teeth and alveolar bone levels, root length of the central incisors, long axes of the maxillary canines, and occlusal plane changes from CBCT images. RESULTS: After retraction, the central incisors were more significantly intruded and their root apex was more retracted in the AP-group. The long axis of the canine was well maintained in the AP-group. There were no differences in the steepness of occlusal plane and the incidence of alveolar bone loss or of root resorption during en masse retraction with the two retractors. CONCLUSIONS: The clockwise bowing effect of the anterior segment was less with the APLR, which prevented unwanted canine movement.
