  • Title: The use of natural spontaneous tooth movement in the treatment of malocclusion.
    Author: Stephens CD.
    Journal: Dent Update; 1989 Oct; 16(8):337-8, 340-2. PubMed ID: 2639830.
    Abstract:
    The natural mechanisms of eruption, mesial migration, soft tissue pressure and occlusal forces can be used by the dentist to treat malocclusion in the growing child. The author describes how planned extractions of deciduous and permanent teeth can be employed to resolve crowding, promote spontaneous alignment, and avoid centreline displacement.
