ORTHOBITES Fig. 5 Fig. 9 Fig. 6 Fig. 10 Fig. 7 Fig. 11 Fig. 8 Fig. 12 placed crimpable posts on the upper Utility arch wire and instructed the patient to wear ¼” light elastics for two months (Fig. 8). In November, I removed all appli-ances, took final records and placed a Fixed Removable Lingual Arch on the lower arch (Figs. 9-12). I am now also employing an upper Nance button in the upper arch to prevent any relapse of the molar relationship. I was pleased with the Phase I results. Having one appliance that could correct two orthodontic problems saved both treatment time as well as additional lab cost. 14 September/October 2012 JAOS
