چکیده

In part 1 of this three-article series, we reviewed the core concepts of the Complete Clinical Orthodontics (CCO) system, how we integrated the straightwire appliance (SWA) with self-ligation to improve control and efficiency, and the rationale for the recently developed CCO prescription, as well as the three stages of treatment mechanics. Specifically, we reviewed the goals and objectives of each stage of treatment emphasizing the more appropriate wire sequence to facilitate accomplishing these objectives. In this article, we will further review some areas that we think are very important in mechanics and that usually require a more in-depth analysis. We will specifically review bracket placement, arch coordination, and leveling the occlusal plane, as well as their effect on the vertical plane. We cannot emphasize enough how important proper bracket placement is for the progress as well as finishing of our cases. Arch coordination and leveling the occlusal plane are two goals to be accomplished at the working stage. Often overlooked, these two concepts have a direct relationship with treatment of vertical problems.1

Maxillary canine-first premolar transposition in the permanent dentition.

Maxillary canine premolar transposition is the most frequently reported transposition type, which many orthodontists face. Although correcting the transposed tooth order is not advised after the eruption of the permanent tooth, several articles published in the last decade demonstrated nonextraction treatment of transposition using fixed mechanics. This article describes the nonextraction treat...

Class II malocclusion associated with mandibular deficiency and maxillary and mandibular crowding: follow-up evaluation eight years after treatment completion

This report describes the correction of a clinical case of malocclusion with anteroposterior discrepancy and transverse, sagittal and vertical deficiencies. A nonextraction technique was used to preserve space in the dental arches and control facial growth for the correction of the sagittal skeletal relationship and of overbite. The mechanics adopted efficiently corrected malocclusion: all func...
