Dr. S. Jay Bowman's device,
The Quick Fix, was the subject of a clinical research project undertaken by Dr. Sohayla Ibrahim at the Orthodontic Department at Mansoura University in Egypt. Her research was published by Ibrahim with her co-workers, Hafez, El Bialy, and Bowman as "Effects of the Quick Fix Appliance in the Correction of Pseudo-Class III Malocclusion" in the
Journal of Clinical Orthodontics. The Quick Fix is a Phase I device designed to advance the upper incisors to specifically correct crossbites of the front teeth. It is primarily utilized in the mixed dentition (typically, the 7-10 year old age group) using a "2X4 set of upper braces."
The Quick Fix was initially introduced by Dr. Bowman in lectures at two American Association of Orthodontists Annual Sessions and later in the
Journal of Clinical Orthodontics (42:691-697, 2008). Additional articles discussing this simple device and it's applications were published by Bowman in the November and December, 2010
Ortho Tribune, a posterboard presentation at the World Federation of Orthodontists in 2010, the German
Kieferorthopadie Nachrichten publication in 2011, and also a piece in
Orthodontic Practice US by Bowman and Moskowitz.

ReplyDeleteThe New York Times has recently written that orthodontists are using Cone Beam CT too much in the diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic patients, leading to an unnecessary increased risk of cancer.
