Effective Tooth Movement Using Lingual Segmented Arch Mechanics Combined With Miniscrews

Abstract

　The control of the labiolingual inclination of incisors, or torque, is considered one of the challenging issues in the lingual orthodontics. However, by utilizing lingual/palatal anatomical structures for using miniscrews in conjunction with lever arms, efficient treatment is possible and predictable. This article aims to provide insight into the control of tooth movement using segmented arch mechanics in combination with miniscrews.
