Early Correction of Rotated Incisor Using 2x4 Appliance With Laser Aided Circumferential Supracrestal Fiberotomy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The tooth rotation is a dental anomaly of position, in which there is a displacement of the tooth within the alveolar bone around its longitudinal axis. The case presented in this article depicts the management of a rotated 22 by orthodontic derotation using 2x4 appliance and Circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF) with laser, followed by splinting with a bonded lingual retainer. This appliance comprised of bonds on the maxillary incisors, bands on the first permanent maxillary molars and a continuous arch wire. This appliance offers many advantages like complete control of anterior tooth position, is extremely well tolerated, requires no adjustment by the patient and allows accurate and rapid positioning of the teeth. After 4 months, the upper left lateral incisor was orthodontically brought into proper alignment. Circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy with laser was done next to the correction of the tooth, followed by bonded lingual retainer. Early treatment in these cases will not only quickly restore anterior aesthetics but may also reduce the future cumbersome orthodontic treatment.
