Dr. Maryam Hamid Al-Doori

As I leave Al-Kamali to begin a new journey, I would like to share a few words from the heart…

Dear Professor Dr. , you are the one who showed me the way in dentistry after graduation and supported me in ways I cannot fully put into words. Every single day with you was an opportunity to learn from your experience, guidance, morals, and humility.

My courage to pursue Orthodontics came because of you, Prof., after the tawfiq of Allah. You are the reason I began this journey and found myself working in the field I am most passionate about, and today, I work in orthodontics with confidence because of the trust you placed in me from the very first bracket placement.

This is not the end of the journey. I will always remain your grateful student, continue learning from you, and always be like a daughter for the rest of my life.

Dr. .ryd , thank you for the successes we achieved together, and for the lovely dinner gathering yesterday. Wishing you, the center, and our lovely staff all the very best.

🔺Growth Modification | Early treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion {that was exacerbated due to the presence of supplemental lower right lateral},
using:
1. Lower anterior inclined bite raisers
2. Segmented S.S. arch wire “on lower anteriors” with two hooks created on both sides inside the arch wire for holding the inter-maxillary elastics
3. Class III IME

🔺“Skeletal” ClassIII case | 31 Y.O Male pt. | Problem list:
* Deep Anterior Cross Bite
* Deep Uni-lateral Cross Bite
* Class III (Dental/ right side & Skeletal)
* Canting
🔺Treatment managed:
* Without Surgery
* Without the use of Expanders
* Without extraction (Only Wisdom teeth)
🔺Treatment stages is still in progress..
Full detail of the treatment plan to be shared in an upcoming post..

The Power of Light force mechanics in managing a severe Anterior Open Bite case..
Achieved in 5 Months..

📍The Slingshot Technique:
A technique used to push the blocked out tooth from the back of it forward toward the line of the arch..
By applying a palatal/ lingual to buccal/ labial force vector on the tooth..

UNIVERSAL SMILES💫..

In conventional appliances, flaring can be avoided using this technique, especially in cases with a V-shaped arch and pre-existing flared anterior crowding.
Simply skip bonding the lower anterior teeth initially and continue with the archwire sequence to achieve arch expansion. Spaces will open naturally (as shown in the case above), after which the anterior teeth can be included and bonded.

Mechanics of Treating a Canting Case with Simultaneous Upper Arch Extrusion and Lower Arch Intrusion..

Steps and Mechanics Used:

1. The cant became clinically evident during the leveling and alignment stage.
2. The upper left canine was excluded from orthodontic treatment after CBCT confirmed ankylosis.
3. An interradicular TAD was inserted between the lower left first and second premolars {LL4–LL5}
{12 mm × 1.5 mm}
4. Two separate segments of power chain were placed mesial and distal to LL4 to achieve lower left intrusion.
5. An intermaxillary elastic was applied from UL4 to the TAD to achieve upper left extrusion.
6. An intermaxillary elastic was applied from UR3 to LR3–LR4 for additional vertical and transverse control.
7. Following debonding of the orthodontic appliance, the upper left canine was restored with an E-max veneer to optimize esthetics.
