Management and retraction of rotated canines by different methods: A case series

Abstract

The permanent canines show abnormal eruption most commonly presenting as rotation, ectopic eruption, or impaction. The correction of rotated canines is usually carried out using round NiTi wires during leveling and aligning. In some cases where the conventional techniques fail, a different biomechanical approach is applied. This article describes the correction and retraction of severely rotated canines using three different methods.
