Abstract:

Orthodontic management of impacted teeth considered from the most interesting topics in orthodontics,treatment of such cases requires comprehensive treatment plan-accurate flap design and excellent traction method,so i will give small hint about this topic,new trends in diagnosis,differences between types of flap,open versus closed traction-and the new in orthodontic mechanics,i will present many cases of my own practice,,i will deal in orthodontic traction of impacted centrals in particular and the uses of Damon brackets in treatment. Introduction: The use of self ligating brackets(Damon) has great effect in orthodontic traction of impacted teeth, as it contains double horizontal slot so we can increase our anchorage by putting sts.st rectangular wire in large basic horizontal slot and putting the other flexible wire in the second slot which responsible for the traction-this technique called double wire technique (piggy back) i will present a case treated by this philosophy,and i will deal with new tricks that facilitate traction by videos and clinical photos. Learning Objectives: 1. Diagnostic tricks in impacted teeth 2. Open traction versus closed traction 3. How i can benefit from Damon system in impacted teeth traction 4. Traction strategy
