Upper-Incisor Intrusion with Axial Control Using a Sectional Appliance and Indirect Mini-Implant AnchorageELIA DIANA BOANGAR DMDDr. Boanger shows how maxillary incisors can be intruded as a block with progressive step-up bends in a sectional wire, using indirect anchorage from buccal mini-implants. The intrusive force produces incisor proclination for arch lengthening, and a buccal root-torquing bend then provides axial control. |

PEARLSDerotation of an Upper Molar Using Cantilever MechanicsSAMER MHEISSEN DDS, HARIS KHAN BDSA maxillary first molar sometimes erupts with a mesial-in rotation. This simple cantilever spring is inserted in the molar tube from the distal to rotate a single molar mesial-out, using anchorage from the main archwire on the same side. |
