Abstract:
This paper demonstrates an unorthodox method to quickly erupt palatally impacted canines based on sound biomechanical principles. The unwinding of a stainless steel round archwire produces the required occlusobuccal force. Due to its snap-back release, it looks like a trap, which is why it was dubbed mousetrap.
