Abstract :

Orthodontic treatment is recognized in society as a dental procedure that requires a lengthy duration and necessitates multiple visits from the patient. This treatment often enhances the self-confidence of individuals who are dissatisfied with the alignment of their teeth. Accelerating the duration of orthodontic treatment cannot be accomplished by neglecting medical considerations, such as the health of dental and periodontal tissues. Focusing on anterior correction may be appropriate if the patient has well-aligned posterior teeth and is primarily concerned about the anterior teeth. This article discusses a method for orthodontic treatment that focuses on the anterior teeth, while using the posterior teeth for anchorage. A tool has also been developed to assist dental professionals in implementing this method. By focusing exclusively on improving the arrangement of the anterior teeth, it is hoped that orthodontic treatment can be expedited, enabling patients to achieve their desired results more quickly and enhance their confidence.
