A novel removable appliance facilitates minor tooth extrusion in anterior teeth. This method utilizes a labial bow and composite resin button for controlled tooth movement.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Minor tooth extrusion is a common orthodontic challenge.
  • Existing methods for extrusion can be complex or invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, removable appliance for minor anterior tooth extrusion.
  • To illustrate the clinical application of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

  • The technique employs a removable appliance incorporating a labial bow.
  • A composite resin button is bonded to the labial surface of the target tooth/teeth.
  • The labial bow engages the composite button to facilitate extrusion.

Main Results:

  • The described appliance provides a straightforward method for minor tooth extrusion.
