title: Uprighting and distalisation of first permanent maxillary molars in patients with undermining resorption: a case report.
abstract: This case report describes a treatment method for distalisation and uprighting of first permanent maxillary molars with the aim of preventing complications in the presence of undermining resorption of the second deciduous molar. We present a fixed appliance, which is a compliance-independent and effective alternative to the methods used thus far such as removable plates with distal screws or separating ligatures.
