title: Clinical experience with third molar orthodontics.
abstract: 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.
