Abstract:
Glass fibres are used to reinforce composite in a number of clinical applications, in orthodontics as well as in general dentistry. In this paper, a transpalatal arch made of fibre reinforced composite is described as an anchorage device bonded to molars and premolars to orthodontically reposition an impacted maxillary canine by means of a palatal cantilever in a highly demanding patient from an esthetic stand point.
