Description

Abstract

Tooth impaction can be defined as the infra-osseous position of the tooth after expected time of eruption. Multiple impacted teeth might be related to genetic syndromes such as cleido-cranial dysplasia (CCD) or endocrine disorders which certainly complicate the treatment and lengthen the overall treatment time considerably. It needs co-ordinated management to guide eruption of as many teeth as possible.

The Customizable design of Ortho-traction appliance with modified crib provides traction of multiple impacted teeth at the same time. This reduces treatment time and patient discomfort. Additional crib like design not only provides place for hooks but also prevents tongue thrusting.
