F-quad helix for simultaneous maxillary expansion and tooth alignment in patients with unilateral cleft lip and/or palate.

Illustrating F-quad helix with extension arms that simultaneously expand maxillary arch and rotate its central incisor adjacent to the alveolar cleft while aligning palatally ectopic canines. Incisor rotation occurred before alveolar grafting, while canine traction was performed after alveolar grafting. The construction of this appliance is shown in detail.

Effectiveness of Orthodontic Mini-Screw Implants in Adult Deep Bite Patients during Incisor Intrusion: A Systematic Review.

Aims: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and conventional segmented arches (CSAs) during incisor intrusion in adult patients with a deep bite and their adverse effects.

Settings And Design: Four electronic databases were searched. In addition, articles were manually searched for using the reference lists of relevant articles, grey literature, and peer-reviewed orthodontic journals.
