Summary
This study presents a simple method for creating a custom nickel titanium intrusion arch. This custom arch offers a more effective and comfortable solution for correcting deep bites by intruding incisors.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Biomaterials Engineering
Background:
- Deep bite correction is challenging.
- Incisor intrusion is a key orthodontic goal.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a novel method for fabricating a custom nickel titanium intrusion arch.
- To provide an effective solution for incisor intrusion in deep bite correction.
Main Methods:
- Fabrication of a custom nickel titanium intrusion arch.
- Application of the custom arch for incisor intrusion.
Main Results:
- The custom-made intrusion arch is easy and rapid to fabricate.
- Achieves the objective of incisor intrusion for deep bite correction.
Conclusions:
- Custom-made intrusion arches are superior to preformed ones.
- These arches are more effective, comfortable, available, and cost-effective.
