Treatment effects of mandibular total arch distalization using a ramal plate.

- Korean J Orthod 2016;46:212-9

I appreciate the authors for this interesting article. I think that ramal plate is one of the best treatment options for total arch distalization. I have some questions as follows.

Q1. I think the ramal plate that author has introduced can expand the limit of class III malocclusion compromise treatment. What are your opinions about the indication and the limitation of skeletal Class III camouflage treatment by using the ramal plate, compared with mini-screw or orthoganahtic surgery?

Q2. Does the ostectomy executed for extraction of impacted third molar nearby retromolar fossa make it difficult to place the ramal plate?

Q3. In general, tissue irritation and inflammation are frequently observed around the TADs passing through the movable tissue. Isn't there any soft tissue problems related to peri-ramal plate? If so, is there any special method to manage soft tissue (or flap)?

Q4. According to the result and discussion in this article, the amount of the distal tipping of lower first molar is less than the results of previous researches. Considering the distal force at bracket level, can you recommend any clinical tip to reduce the distal tipping of posterior teeth?
