This article explores the orthodontic treatment of a horizontally impacted mandibular second molar. The case report focuses on a patient who had an impacted molar causing dental complications. Instead of extracting the tooth, a cantilever uprighting spring made of stainless steel wire was used to upright the molar without surgery or additional anchorage. The treatment involved the extraction of other teeth, followed by the insertion and activation of the cantilever spring. After nine months, the molar was successfully exposed and brought into occlusion, resulting in a stable occlusion and improved facial profile. The article also discusses other methods for aligning the tooth after it has been uprighted and exposed. [Extracted from the article] |
