Abstract: Dental anomalies usually lead to complicated decisions having to be made in terms of the orthodontic treatment of permanent dentition; tooth rotation is the most common of these irregularities. Typically, during leveling and alignment, rotated canines are corrected using round NiTi wires. When the traditional methods are ineffective, an alternative biomechanical strategy may be used. This article explains how to use TMA wire to fix a rotated canine.
