  • Title: The 'slingshot' technique to align palatally impacted canines with elastomeric chain.
    Author: Khoshkhouejad G, Ulhaq A, Bister D.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2015 Jun; 42(2):153-8. PubMed ID: 25816154.
    Abstract:
    Orthodontic alignment of palatally ectopic maxillary canines can be challenging. Treatment is usually prolonged and further complicated by the need for surgical exposure. Several methods are commonly used and have been described in the literature. This article presents two cases to describe a relatively unknown yet effective technique using the 'slingshot' method. This method is operator friendly and easily tolerated by patients.
