Orthodontic traction technique: Clinical case report based on literature

Highlights

  • After the third molars, permanent maxillary canines have the highest incidence of impaction, representing 2.0 % of the population [1,2,3,4,5]

  • The integration of surgery with orthodontics is essential for cases in which the trauma occurred in the deciduous tooth caused disturbance and eruption in the permanent successor

  • In view of the different treatment methods, it was motivated to perform a literature review in order to elucidate the various aspects related to orthodontic traction of the upper canines and, especially, to highlight an effective way of performing this procedure

Summary

Introduction

Permanent maxillary canines have the highest incidence of impaction, representing 2.0 % of the population [1,2,3,4,5]. The dental movements during the eruption are complex and are followed minute by coordination of tooth growth, alveolar process growth and bone growth. Any disturbance in this correlation may affect the direction of movement [5]. The integration of surgery with orthodontics is essential for cases in which the trauma occurred in the deciduous tooth caused disturbance and eruption in the permanent successor. Among these disorders, the occurrence of impaction of the element is common, causing great harm to the patient. In view of the different treatment methods, it was motivated to perform a literature review in order to elucidate the various aspects related to orthodontic traction of the upper canines and, especially, to highlight an effective way of performing this procedure
