Title: @OrthodontistExpert: Why can't we use DO on the malars and orbital rims?
Post by: Optimistic on September 28, 2014, 08:52:01 AM: Do you think such a thing is ever going to be possible?

Post by: OrthodontistExpert on September 28, 2014, 01:31:35 PM: Not sure why you are asking.
These are devices of a physical volume with screw applicators that require access points
Not sure how you would do it
Have you a design in mind?

Well, couldn't screw applicators run down to some part in the mouth to be turned? Have Rolex create a timed release system? Not sure.

And what are your solutions for those with weak malars and infraorbital rims?

What about malar osteotomies? Are you against those?

What will happen to the implants as you age? Will implants produce results as good (or better) than malar and zygomatic osteotomies? What kind of material should be used? What's the risk of infections? How hard are the implants to remove if something goes wrong in the future? Those questions do not seem simple to me.
