Movement is performed using light, controlled orthodontic forces. The objective is to reposition the tooth safely while minimizing the risk of root damage.
Central Incisor in the Correct Position
At the current stage, the central incisor is correctly positioned within the dental arch.
This allows treatment to proceed to the adjacent lateral incisor.
With the central incisor now in the appropriate position, the next phase focuses on gradual movement of the neighboring tooth.
Lateral Incisor Correction
Orthodontic treatment is now focused on the adjacent lateral incisor.
Light physiological orthodontic forces are used to move the tooth gradually and in a controlled manner.
The objectives of the current stage are to:
- improve the position of the lateral incisor;
- control the direction of tooth movement;
- avoid excessive orthodontic loading;
- minimize the risk of root damage.
Why Tooth Movement Is Gradual
Careful control of orthodontic force is important during movement of the lateral incisor.
Excessive force is undesirable, so light physiological forces are used in this case.
This allows the tooth position to be changed gradually while minimizing the risk of undesirable effects on the root.
Treatment is still in progress, so the result shown represents an intermediate stage. The final position of the lateral incisor is still being established.
Controlled Tooth Movement at DentalDate Dubai
Orthodontic treatment involves not only achieving the required tooth position but also controlling how the movement occurs.
At DentalDate Dubai, orthodontic mechanics are selected according to the current tooth position and the objectives of each treatment stage. When individual teeth require careful correction, gradual movement with light, controlled orthodontic forces may be used.
