Growth Modification
A Natural Solution, Right on Time
This case captures the beauty of orthodontics: providing a natural solution to a complex problem. The upper-left second bicuspid was blocked from erupting because the first molar had shifted forward into its space. By intervening at just the right moment with growth-modification treatment, we moved the molar back, restored the natural eruption path and preserved the bicuspid.
