Abstract

Introduction: The principles of orthodontic mechanics strongly influence the success of canine distalization.
Objective: The aim of this case report is to present the use and efficiency of good biomechanical principles of segmented mechanics in order to optimize the orthodontic treatment in canine distalization.
Material and Methods: Orthodontic treatment of a young patient with primary anterior bimaxillary crowding, an ectopically erupted upper left canine, buccally positioned and dental asymmetry, Angle class I on the right side and Class II malocclusion on the left side, ½ Class II in the canine region and Class II in the molar region. The treatment plan included extractions of the lower first molars and the upper right first premolar. With 0.017 x 0.025 segmental titanium molybdenum alloy T-loop, the horizontal force acted on the tooth performing its bodily distalization and its retraction by closing the extraction space.
Results: After the treatment with segmented arch and achieving correction of the ectopic placement of the canine in Angle class I relationship, we continued the treatment with straight wire technique. We corrected the maxillary and mandibulary crowding, achieved ideal overjet and overbite and improved incisor inclination, which, leaded to improved occlusion and satisfactory smile for the patient.
Conclusion: Through this case report we highlight the efficiency of segmented mechanics to optimize the orthodontic treatment, to reduce the duration of treatment time and to achieve ideal results without side effects on the surrounding teeth and tissues.
Keywords: Ectopically erupted canine, T-Loop, segmental utility arch technique.
