Moving a Blocked-Out Bicuspid into the Arch Using the"Sleeze".

Ahmed Masoud

    International Journal of Orthodontics (Milwaukee, Wis.)
    |September 5, 2018
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel "sleeze" technique uses an elastomeric chain as a slingshot to reposition palatally blocked-out bicuspid teeth. This method effectively guides displaced teeth into the dental arch when traditional methods are unfeasible.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Dental Mechanics

    Background:

    • Dental crowding is a common orthodontic issue.
    • Palatally displaced teeth (palatally blocked-out) present significant treatment challenges.
    • Traditional methods for retracting severely displaced teeth can be complex or unfeasible.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a modified
    • sleeze
    • technique for managing palatally blocked-out bicuspid teeth.
    • To provide an alternative method for aligning severely displaced teeth that are difficult to ligate to the archwire.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified
    • sleeze
    • technique utilizing an elastomeric chain is described.
    • The elastomeric chain functions as a slingshot, applying controlled force to move the blocked-out tooth.
    • This technique is designed for cases where direct ligation to the archwire is not possible.

    Main Results:

    • The
    • sleeze
    • technique successfully guides palatally displaced bicuspids into the dental arch.
    • The method offers a feasible solution for aligning teeth that are too far displaced for conventional ligation.
    • The elastomeric chain provides a consistent and effective force vector for tooth movement.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified
    • sleeze
    • technique is an effective and innovative approach for treating palatally blocked-out bicuspids.
    • This technique expands the armamentarium for managing complex orthodontic tooth displacement.
    • It offers a simplified and potentially more efficient method for aligning challenging cases.
