Abstract

Class III malocclusion worsens with age, necessitating early orthopaedic therapy to restore facial equilibrium and regulate maxillofacial growth and development. A 12-year-old prepubertal male with a Class III skeletal base, anterior crossbite, retrognathic maxilla, and prognathic mandible is described in this report. To treat the anteroposterior plane and improve the profile, the ALT-RAMAC approach was used with reverse pull headgear. Following that, fixed mechanotherapy was used to get the desired effects. After that, the patient was monitored for another three years. Keywords: ALT­RAMAC, K LOOP, Class III skeletal base, Face mask therapy, Hyrax

Abstract

Impacted canine traction is a significant challenge for orthodontics. It is a relatively common clinical problem, and managing it almost always calls for a multidisciplinary approach. In addition to the lengthy recovery period and high patient expenditures associated with therapy, surgical exposure of the impacted canine and the intricate orthodontic mechanics used to realign the teeth back into the arch frequently result in problems involving supporting tissues. This present paper proposes a new method for eruption of impacted canine that is W spring. Keywords: Elastics, Auxillary, Dimensional
