OCCLUSAL PLANE CANTING : A CASE REPORT

Occlusal plane canting could be a challenge for orthodontists due to complexity of mechanics and uncertainity of treatment. Earlier, before advent of TADS in orthodontics, canting was treated by complex mechanics using elastics, asymmetric bends in archwires, bite blocks, high pull headgears, orthognathic surgeries etc. With advent of TADs, its become easier to treat occlusal canting even in some severe cases. The present case report illustrates treatment of severe canting by use of temporary anchorage devices hence avoiding surgery.
