    Author: Chhibber A, Upadhyay M.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2015 Jul; 148(1):165-73. PubMed ID: 26124039.
    Abstract:
    Protraction of posterior teeth into edentulous spaces is a challenge. This report describes the treatment of a 19-year-old woman with missing mandibular first molars owing to caries. A fixed functional appliance was used for anchorage reinforcement during mandibular second molar protraction. Eight millimeters of bilateral protraction was done with bodily mesial movement of the molars and no lingual tipping of the incisors.
