Accelerated Canine Retraction using Two Distraction Methods - A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Accelerating rate of orthodontic treatment has gained significant popularity due to the increased demand from orthodontic patients to reduce the time taken for orthodontic mechanotherapy. Rapid canine retraction employing various distraction methods has been employed for severe crowding, Angle’s Class II Division 1 malocclusions, bidentoalveolar protrusion, root shortening, and malformation, as well as in patients presenting with periodontal problems. Various distraction methods are available for canine retraction. The present case report demonstrates the effective use of two different distraction methods to accelerate canine retraction, and subsequent reduction in overall orthodontic treatment time.
