HSD-A New Twist to CL2 Correction
A doc presents a sectional technique called HDS, which allows the posterior
segments to distalize without any cross-arch stabilization. Is this an option you'd
try in your practice?

The need to do a Burstone intrusion has this ortho needing dual-slot brackets, or
a clever alternative. Will piggybacking two wires into a convertible slot work? See

Sweeping Away the Myths in Orthodontics:
The Extraction/Non-Extraction Debate by Dr. Richard A. Litt
In recent years a great deal of misinformation has been presented in the name of
continuing education in orthodontics. Misrepresentation of credentials, as well as
empirical or anecdotal support for clinical procedures without any biological basis,
have been used to promote orthodontic procedures to general or pediatric dentists
incorporating orthodontics into their practices. It is time to hear the facts! If you are
presently practicing orthodontics or intend to incorporate orthodontics into your
practice, you owe it to yourself and your patients to find out the truth and separate
fact from fiction. This course addresses the controversial topic of whether we
should extract premolars to make space in orthodontics.
