If the etiology is primarily skeletal, the patient may have a developmental or acquired asymmetry in either or both arches.4 Table 1 Cephalometric Analysis SNA SNB SN-MP U1-SN IMPA A-B (OP) PreTreatment PostTreatment 82º 77º 24º 103º 112º 5.5mm 82º 77º 24º 96º 108º 3.8mm It is extremely important to differentiate between dental and skeletal asymmetry before establishing treatment alternatives and objectives. Computed tomography, anteroposterior and 45° lateral oblique cephalograms, and submental-vertex radiographs can aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of these cases. The most important tool, however, remains the clinical examination of the patient.3 An asymmetrical patient usually presents with a Class I occlusion on one side and a Class II or III occlusion on the other, so that the upper and lower midlines do not coincide with each other or the facial midline.5 The following case shows how a dental asymmetry can be corrected using predictable force systems. Fig. 1 14-year-old female patient with Class II subdivision left malocclusion and mandibular dental asymmetry caused by premature loss of deciduous teeth. Diagnosis and Treatment Plan Treatment Progress A 14-year-old patient in the permanent dentition presented with the chief complaint of crowded and overlapping anterior teeth. She had a Class II subdivision left malocclusion (Fig. 1). The maxillary midline had shifted 1mm to the right and the mandibular midline 2mm to the left from the facial midline. Cephalometric analysis indicated a retrognathic mandible with lower incisor flaring and a lower arch that was skewed to the left (Table 1). The overjet was 4.5mm, and the overbite was 50%. The patient reported premature loss of the mandibular deciduous teeth on the left side, which was diagnosed as the major etiologic factor in the dental asymmetry. Full-arch .022" appliances were bonded, and leveling and alignment were carried out with continuous .014" nickel titanium archwires. This caused the mandibular midline deviation to become even more evident. Maxillary space closure was begun with separate canine retraction, using an .016" x .022" stainless steel continuous base archwire and an overlaid .017" x .025" Beta III CNA* intrusion arch, engaged from the first molar auxiliary tubes and tied to the four anterior teeth (Fig. 2). The intrusion arch was designed to provide two mechanical advantages: molar tipback moments for intraoral anchorage, and an intrusive force on the incisors to prevent any deepening of the bite from Following a comprehensive clinical and data-base analysis, we devised a treatment plan involving extraction of the upper and lower first premolars to achieve a symmetrical buccal occlusion, midline correspondence, appropriate overjet, and adequate retraction of the flared lower incisors. To correct the mandibular midline, an .017" x .025" stainless steel archwire was split into buccal segments between the first molars and second premolars and an anterior segment from canine to canine, with a passive loop extending apically toward the center of resistance of the anterior teeth. An .017" x .025" Beta III CNA cantilever from the right first molar auxiliary tube was bent buccally and connected to the loop with elastomeric chain (Fig. 4). The cantilever was activated to achieve an efficient midline correction through pure translation of the anterior segment5 (Fig. 5). A Fig. 3 Intrusion arch produces tipback moments on first molars for anchorage and intrusive force on incisors to prevent increase inoverbite during canine retraction. Fig. 2 Maxillary canine retraction using .016" x .022" stainless steelbase archwire and overlaid .017" x .025" Beta III CNA intrusion arch, with elastomeric chain from molars to canines. archwire deflection as the canines were retracted6 (Fig. 3). Fig. 4 Lower midline correction with segmented .017" x .025" stainless steel archwire, including passive loop bent apically toward anterior center of resisance, and .017" x .025" Beta III CNA cantilever, bent buccally from lower right first molar tube and connected to anterior loop with elastomeric chain. B Fig. 5 A.Anterior wire segment with loop extended apically toward anterior center of resistance provides contact point forforce of buccal cantilever. B. Force applied through center of resistance produces transla-tion for lower midline correction. 3 Correction of an Asymmetrical Class II Malocclusion Continued The lower midline was corrected in eight weeks without any reactivation of the cantilever or tipping of the lower anterior teeth (Fig. 6). Maxillary canine retraction was completed in 12 weeks with no apparent anchorage loss or bite deepening (Fig. 7). .017" x .025" stainless steel archwire was placed with Class II elastics to achieve simultaneous protraction of the mandibular molars. Discussion Asymmetrical malocclusions, although commonly seen in orthodontic practices, are among the most difficult cases to treat. As this case shows, an ideal result can be achieved with minimal side effects in a relatively short time, as long as the clinician makes an appropriate diagnosis, sets reasonable objectives, and uses predictable and efficient mechanics.6 The maxillary incisors were then retracted with Beta III CNA mushroom loops,* allowing the use of differential moments during space closure6,7 (Fig. 8). Activation of the M-loop increases the applied moment and thus the moment-to-force ratio, providing better anterior root control and posterior anchorage (Fig. 9). In the lower arch, an After 16 more weeks of treatment, the upper incisor retraction was finished, but a small space remained on the lower left side. An .016" x .022" stainless steel archwire was placed, with an offcenter V-bend distal to the lower left canine for space closure using differential moments8 (Figs.10,11). The space was closed in eight weeks, after which the rootswere uprighted and the case finished. Total treatment time was 23 months (Fig. 12). (Page 6) Fig. 6 Lower midline correction after eight weeks of translatory movement. Fig. 7 Patient after 12 weeks of canine retraction, with no increase in over bite or anchorage loss.

Mushroom loop reduces applied force and increases moment, raising moment-to-force ratio to 10:1 for better root control and anchorage. B.

Ultrasonically clean or hand scrub instruments in a biodegradable/no rinse solution (e.g., MP-US Plus). Best ultrasonic cleaning solutions are non-ionic, have a built-in rust inhibitor and do not have to be rinsed under water after cleaning. Change cleaning solution daily for best results. 2. Clean for five (5) minutes in a small capacity Ultrasonic or twelve (12) minutes in a large capacity Ultrasonic. 3. Let instruments drip dry or pat dry with a clean towel.Wipe mouth mirrors dry with a clean towel to avoid spotting, or shake excess moisture as they sit on racks. DO NOT RINSE. Harmful minerals found in tap water can leave rust spots on your pliers.Any excess solution will evaporate in a Rapid Dry Heat Sterilizer. 4. Lubricate hinged instruments weekly with a silicone lubricant (e.g., SL16 multipurpose silicone lubricant). Lubricate after ultrasonic cleaning and before Dry Heat Sterilization. NOTE: Do not use oil-based lubricants – they are unable to withstand most sterilization temperatures and may “gum-up” in the hinge of your instrument. 5. Sterilize in a Rapid Dry Heat Sterilizer (e.g., DDS 7000). DO NOT use autoclaves (steam under pressure) – autoclaves will rust and dull orthodontic instruments. DO NOT use chemclaves (chemical under pressure) – they can dull orthodontic pliers. However, if you are using an autoclave or chemclave, use a surgical milk bath as a pre-soak (puts protective coating on your pliers; helping to protect against rusting). 6. Monitor sterilization weekly. 7. Keep your sterilizer clean. Follow these easy steps every other day. Spray 409, or Fantastik, on a paper towel or rag and wipe down the inside and outside of the unit. For tough stains on inside of unit – use a scrubby on stainless steel with 409 or Fantastik. Flush Cut Distal End Cutter 202-DSE200F Royal Dentronix Pliers Dental Sterilizers do not run at temperatures high enough to damage Orthodontic Pliers. It is the harmful minerals and chemicals that come into contact with these instruments that cause the rust and corrosion.The heat generated by sterilization then accelerates the damage.Therefore, always follow the fundamental rule of sterilization: Only sterilize clean instruments.

Check our Cerum Ortho/Dentronix Catalogue for full details. DSL-16 Pure Silicone Lubricant 16 oz. Spray Can 202DSL-16 Fax: 1.800.361.5088 Important Cleaning Guidelines 1. DO NOT Wash/rinse under water.Water will cause tool steel inserts found in many orthodontic pliers to turn black and pit. 2. DO NOT use alcohol.Alcohol is inferior cleaner, dehydrates organic materials making them difficult to remove, flammable and can cause black spotting on tool steel inserts. 3. DO NOT use iodophors.They are corrosive and evaporate with noxious fumes. 4. DO NOT mix cleaning concentrates with softened water.The salts in the water softening process may release chlorines, which are corrosive and will remove colour from racks. 5. DO NOT use powerful enzyme cleaners. Cause discolouration of entire plier insert. Can cause inserts to fall out due to attack on brazing material. email [email protected] www.aurumgroup.com Inst r ume nt s Distal Bender Band Biter Autuoclavable!
