■ Prognosis good with
RETENTION

● Arch expansion (NOT palatal expansion) →
creates ~ 4mm of space
Moderate generalized space discrepancy (<4 mm per arch)
○ Ideal profile for arch expansion:
■ AP position of lips/incisors
normal or retrusive (NOT protrusive)
Moderate generalized space discrepancy (<4 mm per arch)
○ Ideal profile for arch expansion:
■ Adequate facial
keratinized tissue (gingiva) ● Allows for facial movement

● Can expect ——— in a year

Severe space discrepancy >
4-5 mm per arch
Severe space discrepancy
● Extraction
○ Based on
crowding & protrusion
■ Extraction allows incisors to be
retruded
○ Premolars most
commonly extracted (~ 7 mm each) ○ Stability unknown - retention required
Serial extractions ⇒ Severe space discrepancy > 10 mm per arch
● Indications:
○ Class I with good facial form & severe space shortage
Serial extractions ⇒ Severe space discrepancy > 10 mm per arch
■ Early loss of 1° canines →
a finding of severe crowding
Serial extractions ⇒ Severe space discrepancy > 10 mm per arch
○ Gingival defects from
abnormal eruption
Serial extractions ⇒ Severe space discrepancy > 10 mm per arch
○ Impactions
imminent (from crowding)
Serial extractions ⇒ Severe space discrepancy > 10 mm per arch
● Advantages:
○ Spontaneous incisor alignment, improved psych, & reduced treatment time
Serial extractions
■ Proven benefits
○ Better canine position; improved gingiva; improved hygiene, ↓ retention time, better stability
Serial extractions
● Disadvantages:
○ Incisor lingual tipping & remaining teeth may not erupt or have poor form
■ Thus requiring future treatments
■ Substantiated by data
○ Deep bite; Reduced vertical growth & alveolar development; Poor facial esthetics
Serial extraction
● Begins with
extraction of 1° teeth → Facilitates alignment of erupted permanent teeth & encourages eruption of the premolars that will be extracted
Serial extraction
● Sequence:
- Primary canine (for anterior crowding & alignment)
- Primary 1rst molar (when > ½ PM root formed to expedite eruption)
■ In mandibular arch → want premolars to erupt before canine
■ In maxillary arch → 1rst premolars usually erupt before canines anyway - 1rst premolar (provides space in permanent dentition)
Serial extractions
■ In mandibular arch →
want premolars to erupt before canine
Serial extractions
■ In maxillary arch →
1rst premolars usually erupt before canines anyway
Space regaining - Localized space shortage
● Localized space shortage is an
opportunity to regain space if < 3 mm per quadrant

● Adhere to
maximum space loss amount & use reliable appliances

● Causes ⇒
Interproximal caries, ectopic eruption, tooth loss

(<3mm per quadrant)
Moderate localized space discrepancy
1. Permanent molar ectopic eruption
○ 1rst permanent molar erupts mesially → may cause 1° molar resorption & loss

○ Space regaining treatment plans:
■ If NO succedaneous premolar →
space regaining NOT necessary
● Mesial shift of 1rst permanent molar will close space
● Brackets bonded on dentition with spring inbetween

1. Permanent molar ectopic eruption
○ Space regaining treatment plans:
■ BRASS WIRE (or separator) for
minimal interference/resorption (<1mm)
● Placed in between contacts, pushing permanent molar distally
Moderate localized space discrepancy 1. Permanent molar ectopic eruption
○ Space regaining treatment plans:
■ BAND & SPRING
● 1° molar banded and spring pushes 2° molar back
● Uncontrolled distal crown tip
○ Short roots bc still erupting - very easy to tip
● Fabrication → made by lab, so need to band and separate tooth for impression; wire bend & soldered by lab
○ Activated 3-4 mm
○ Treatment completed after 2-3 activations
● No retention required

1. Permanent molar ectopic eruption
○ Space regaining treatment plans:
■ MODIFIED BAND & SPRING
● Direct
(Intraoral) fabrication with no soldering → tooth banded & bent wire used as spring
Moderate localized space discrepancy
■ BONDED SPRING
● Most modern & efficient way →
No banding; intraoral fabrication
