Management of Proclined Anterior Teeth Using Frictionless Loop Mechanics: A Case Series

Abstract

This case series presents the two female patient, 21 years old who presented with class 2 divison 1 maloccusion with proclination of upper and lower incisors. Both of them presented with an overjet of 5mm and 8mm respectively. The maxillary dental midline was deviated to right. The objectives were to achieve a pleasing profile, eliminate crowding, correct the inclinations of the teeth, to obtain bilateral canine and molar class 1 relationship, an adequate overbite and overjet, correct midline and a good balance and occlusal function. Treatment consisted of extraction of the maxillary and mandibular bicuspids and fixed orthodontic therapy. The usage of T loop for the alignment of highly placed canine and KSIR loop for the retraction of the anterior segment have been described in the case series.
