Incisor Intrusion with a Miniscrew-Anchored Segmental Utility Arch
Nonsurgical options for correcting deep overbite generally involve incisor intrusion, molar extrusion, or a combination of the two. Segmental intrusion-arch mechanics for treating deep overbite, first described by Burstone, tend to produce side effects such as distal tipping and extrusion of the molars. This article describes a relatively simple, miniscrew-anchored segmental utility arch that can be used to achieve incisor intrusion without reciprocal forces.
