Orthodontic space closure offers a solution for missing teeth (partial agenesis). Custom acrylic face frames can anchor teeth movement, potentially avoiding the need for prosthetic replacements.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Partial tooth agenesis presents challenges in orthodontic space management.
  • Traditional approaches may necessitate prosthetic solutions or compromise anterior esthetics.

Observation:

  • Custom-fit acrylic face frames were utilized as an anchorage system.
  • These devices were formed directly on the patient's facial structure.

Findings:

  • The acrylic face frames provided effective anchorage for tooth protraction.
  • This technique facilitated orthodontic space closure in cases of partial agenesis.

Implications:

  • Offers a viable alternative to prosthetic rehabilitation for missing teeth.
