Raising the root. A look at orthodontic extrusion

Area of Science:

• Orthodontics
• Biomaterials in Dentistry

Background:

• Traditional orthodontic anchorage methods can be complex and require specialized skills.
• The need for simpler, effective anchorage solutions in clinical practice is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a simple, effective technique for establishing dental anchorage using bonded wires.
• To demonstrate the utility of bonded wires in orthodontic treatment for stabilization.

Main Methods:

• A technique involving the use of bonded wires to create an anchorage and attachment point on a tooth was employed.
• Minimal specialized materials and orthodontic skills are required for implementation.

Main Results:

• The bonded wire effectively stabilizes the anchor unit.
• The technique successfully prevents adverse or unwanted tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.

Conclusions:

• Bonded wire anchorage is a simple and effective method in orthodontics.
• This technique requires minimal resources, making it accessible for various clinical settings.
