ABSTRACT
Protracting lower second molars and uprighting horizontally impacted third molars is a significant orthodontic challenge in patients who require the extraction of severely decayed first molars. Here, we describe the use of biomechanics to upright 90°-tilted lower third molars following second molar protraction. Herein, we introduce a technique for uprighting the lower third molars by (1) the placement of superelastic nickel titanium archwires, (2) bonding, and (3) repositioning of a buccal tube in a tilted position to compensate for the efficiency of Ni-Ti (nickel-titanium) wire. The treatment mechanics used for our two cases showed that even severely impacted third molars can be uprighted by routine continuous straight-wire techniques. This technique proved to be a simple, efficient and reliable treatment option for uprighting horizontally impacted third molars.
