  • Title: Extrusion-based leveling with segmented arch mechanics.
    Author: Noroozi H, Moeinzad H.
    Journal: Int J Adult Orthodon Orthognath Surg; 2002; 17(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 11934055.
    Abstract:
    Leveling of the dental arch may be accomplished through anterior intrusion, posterior extrusion, or a combination. Posterior extrusion is usually preferred in vertically balanced adolescents and in surgical-orthodontic treatment of adults suffering from deep bite and mandibular deficiency. A major disadvantage of posterior extrusion, when accomplished by continuous archwires, is incisor flaring. Here a segmented arch arrangement is proposed for posterior extrusion that combines the clinical simplicity of continuous mechanics with better control of incisor position.
