Rotation of any tooth needs to be corrected in the initial phase of orthodontic mechanotherapy. Derotation of posterior teeth provides space in the arch and also allows the treatment progress. During rotation correction, undesirable forces make an unwanted movement of the adjacent teeth, which increases the duration of treatment. This case report aims to fabricate and introduce the modified Nance palatal arch that easily allows derotation of the tooth without producing undesirable side effect on adjacent teeth.
Keywords: modified Nance palatal arch, derotation, rotated premolar
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
