ORTHOBITES "I placed the patient in cross arch elastics, 18x 25 SS sectionals, and instructed her to wear them all the time for a month. This method fully intercuspates the premolars (the key to stability) and also creates buccal root torque in the premolars (a key to occlusion)." Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig. 9 Fig. 10 Fig. 8 Fig. 11 complete and I felt I would be back into Phase II within a year. In May, 2009, I took another progress panolipse. I also employed midline elastics on the patient (Figs. 14–15). I opted to have the remaining primary teeth removed in November, 2009 (Fig. 16). The patient’s premolars and canines erupted slower than I anticipated. Figs. 17 and 18 show the progress 12 September/October 2013 JAOS that had occurred by June, 2010, and by January, 2011. In April, 2011, I placed the patient in cross arch elas-tics, 18x 25 SS sectionals, and instructed her to wear them all the time for a month (Fig. 19). This method fully intercuspates the premolars (the key to stability) and also creates buccal root torque in the premolars (a key to occlusion).
