Abstract

Most of orthodontic patients seek treatment to improve their facial and dental esthetics which is compromised due to variety of malocclusions. Malocclusion can be caused by skeletal or dental factors. Dental malocclusion includes crowding, spacing, increased overjet, and overbite, rotations of teeth etc. Correction of some malocclusions like crowding and increased overjet needs space in the dental arch. There are various methods for creating space in the dental arch such as proximal stripping, distalization of molars, extractions, expansion of arch, and proclination of anterior teeth, and derotation of posterior teeth. In this article, we will briefly discuss about these methods.
Keywords : Malocclusion, crowding, extraction, rotation of teeth, expansion
