Innovative Treatment Approach: Multiple Variability (MV) Loop Intervention for Angle Class I Malocclusion with Dewey's Type 2 Modification: A Case Report.

Abstract

Proclination of anteriors is significantly found in developing malocclusions and affecting both aesthetics and function. In patients with protrusions or crowding, extraction therapy is often necessary. Orthodontic treatment is initiated with the extraction of maxillary first premolars to address the protrusions or crowding and achieve a harmonious occlusion. There are two ways to retract anteriors during extraction space closure: friction or frictionless. The present case report explains the innovative treatment approach for the correction of anterior protrusion using multiple variability (MV) loops. Even with the good efficiency of the MV loop, meticulous wire bending is one of the disadvantages of the loop, and it requires clinician skills. Smaller loop fabrication will be the future scope of the appliance to increase patient compliance toward the treatment using MV loop as it will cause less hindrance in the vestibular region.
