Abstract
Orthodontic treatment often encounters challenges posed by partially erupted teeth, necessitating innovative approaches to expedite alignment. This article introduces the Esmail Eruptor, a novel device designed to align partially erupted teeth within 4-6 weeks. The Esmail Eruptor consists of a stainless-steel attachment with a mesh base and an offset wire slot, facilitating its bonding to teeth with minimal enamel exposure, yet allowing greater activation of the nickel-titanium wires. Clinical patients demonstrate successful outcomes with the Esmail Eruptor, highlighting its efficacy in expediting treatment progression. Moreover, considerations for impacted teeth, biomechanics, and potential side effects are also discussed. The device offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by partially erupted teeth, ensuring timely and efficient orthodontic treatment.
