Torque correction is one of the most difficult and critical procedures performed during the finishing phase of orthodontic treatment.[1] Proper torque positions the root in a physiological periodontal situation because it ensures both appropriate occlusalforce distribution and adequate thickness of the vestibular cortical plate.
