Class II Mechanics for Overjet Reduction Part4｜【Chris Chang Ortho】CC595

I was looking for a star - I found the galaxy.
15 years ago, at a time when I spent as much time on a golf course as I did in my practice, a friend suggested that I start a study group of about 20 local doctors to share how and why I was using miniscrews for my treatments. Having started this group, we explored and discussed not only the successes, but also the failures I had encountered, and I made a lot of friends that I wouldn’t have made if I had spent all my free-time on the golf course. Over the years, this group, my circle of friends, and the golf courses I have played on have increased exponentially, based not only in Taiwan, but globally.
At the moment, of course international travel is rather problematic, but fortunately the internet has allowed us the opportunity to continue sharing our successes and failures with one another. We are very fortunate to be in touch with one another.
As we all get older, it is an honor to be able to touch the young generation of orthodontists, who in time - like myself - will touch and pass on their accumulated knowledge to the generation younger than them.
As technology advances, we are all able to explore new techniques and tools and this edition of our journal highlights the mechanics involved in aligner treatments and how to combine them with miniscrews to fix Class III and open bite cases. In this issue there are 4 case reports, superbly written by international members of the young generation and I hope you are as excited as I am to learn how they have started to explore the potential of aligners and miniscrews.
To complete this edition, we continue with a view of Taiwanese lifestyle highlighting quail and a rooftop garden. I hope you enjoy this edition and you remain safe and healthy until we can touch each other again on our path to glory through this amazing galaxy.

Superb

Great case presentation, my friend 👍🏻

[@Soul-Edge]

Hope the results are stable in the future, the literature is quite the opposite, surgery would have been a better option.

[@shafeequsanade5076]

How stable is the results

Mandibular advancement in adult? Please help me with this 🙏🏻

[@redivaldojonasdasilva7332]

Não é avanço em adulto.A mandíbula gira e aparenta estar mais pra frente

I regret that there's no picture of the face after the treatment.

[@timschulze4162]

At 1:52 you can see the patients face

@@timschulze4162 You're right, but I ment the face profile after treatment

[@timschulze4162]

I am going to ask my orthodontists about mandible advancement. My overjet is 4-5mm and I am 36 years old. I already have upper premolars and all wisdom teeth extracted. Even if it takes 3 years to grow my mandible I am willing to do that, I didn’t know growth was still possible 🥹🤩

[@dharanisoundarapandian6587]

There isn't any growth, your lower incisors tend to procline which gives the illusion of growth

[@timschulze4162]

@@dharanisoundarapandian6587you are right, they are tipping my lower incisors and retracting my upper. I already had a dished in face but well at least my occlusion will be better 🥲

[@timschulze4162]

@@dharanisoundarapandian6587I get my maxillary teeth retracted instead because the bone in my lower arch is too thin to advance without causing potential gum recession. I will have the dished in face but that’s better than jaw surgery and most people won’t even notice 😆😅
