Alveolar and anterior maxillary distraction in patients with orofacial clefts
(wiley, 2023) Motro,M.; Erverdi,N.; Acar,Y.B.
Distraction osteogenesis is a commonly used process in the treatment of patients with craniofacial disorders, especially in those with cleft lip and palate (CLP) having severe maxillary deficiency. This chapter discusses the use of alveolar distraction osteogenesis in the treatment of CLP with large defects. Major goals in the treatment of CLP include achieving labial, palatal, and velopharyngeal closure; a balanced profile; a harmonious facial appearance; and a good occlusion. One of the most critical aspects in the preparation of the dental arch for alveolar distraction osteogenesis is creating enough space to facilitate interdental vertical osteotomies. Compared to tooth-borne appliances, bone-anchored systems can present challenges in positioning the distraction device with the correct force vector. Bone-anchored distraction appliances are often preferred over tooth-borne systems when segmental anterior maxillary distraction is required and may also be used as an alternative to tooth-borne appliances in alveolar transport distraction. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Zygomatic Miniplate-Supported Openbite Treatment: An Alternative Method to Orthognathic Surgery
(Elsevier, 2020) Erverdi,N.; Şar,Ç.
Anterior openbite can be treated with various approaches. The treatment is based on the malocclusion’s etiologic traits. Treatment of dental anterior openbite focuses on eruption of anterior teeth. Skeletal anterior openbite is generally treated by intruding the maxillary posterior dentoalveolar segments, which are overerupted. This treatment approach leads to a displacement of the tongue’s root downward, positions the tongue downward and backward, and corrects the altered functional matrix. Subsequently, the mandible rotates counterclockwise and the openbite closes. The intrusion of the maxillary posterior teeth have been achieved with orthognathic surgery for many years. However, with the introduction of temporary anchorage devices in orthodontics, minimally invasive treatment options became possible for the treatment of anterior openbite. This chapter aims to describe the skeletal openbite treatment with the new generation openbite appliance (OBA) and zygomatic anchorage, which can be an alternative to orthognathic surgery. Moreover, cases treated with this technique are presented. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
