Clinical experience with third molar orthodontics.
An orthodontic uprighting technique for effective treatment of impacted third molars, exposed or unexposed, is described. When used with conventional fixed appliances, this technique presents a viable option to extraction or prediction of eruption. Several applications illustrate that, with proper intervention, this uprighting technique is simple and effective in positioning malposed third molars.
