Figure 11

Illustration showing simulated movement of the ectopic canine into occlusion in a similar scenario following extraction of #15 (b). A segmented T loop being used for retraction of #14 into the extraction space and the transseptal fibers of #13 following #14 into occlusion (c–g). Overlay archwire to derotate and get #13 into alignment (h, i). Finishing on a stainless steel archwire.
