Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction in Begg Appliance and Evaluation of Same by Non-numerical Approach by Esthetic Analysis

Abstract

Many appliances, labial and lingual have emerged with different mechanics for simultaneous intrusion and retraction. Nowadays, the temporary anchorage devices are advocated as a method of augmenting anchorage. The present case utilizes the conventional technique of archwire modification according to Hocevar in Begg's technique for true incisor intrusion and simultaneous retraction. A non-numeric approach analysis called esthetic analysis is used for lower third of face to evaluate the treatment results.
