Innovative Orthodontic Treatment Using Physiologic Anchorage System Resolves Impacted Mandibular Second Molars in Adult Maxillomandibular Protrusion Case

Posted: December 6, 2024
This case report highlights the successful orthodontic treatment of a 21-year-old woman with maxillomandibular protrusion and impacted bilateral mandibular second molars using the Physiologic Anchorage Spee-wire System (PASS). The innovative PASS technique, incorporating multilevel low-friction brackets and a cross buccal tube, effectively resolved the impaction of second molars and achieved a well-aligned dentition, functional occlusion, and harmonious facial profile within 22 months. The superiority of PASS in managing maxillomandibular protrusion cases without auxiliary anchorage devices, along with the role of the mandibular buccal tube in uprighting impacted molars, demonstrates a simple and efficient solution to dental impaction with minimized oral discomfort for the patient.
