Localization of impacted canines for orthodontic traction

For orthodontic purposes, we evaluate the position of impacted canines in bone to better appreciate the type of biomechanical approach that will be needed. The visualization helps the dentist and the orthodontist incorporate these findings in the diagnosis and in our orthodontic appliance to position these teeth in the most appropriate position.

Jean-Marc great diagnostic tool. The cuspid root buccal torques will be the most important factor in their final stability. I have seen kissing cuspids like these relapse completely back to the palate.(graduate retention case)
