Fig. 9 molar band like a traditional tooth would be and glass ionomer band cement used to fix them both together and to the band. A sectional 17x25 arch wire was used in the buccal slot with a light spring force applied to the buccal under constant force while a power chain was placed on the lingual to equalize the force. The thickness of the arch wire was chosen so that the tooth would not tip during transla-tion, and the lingual power chain stopped the tooth from rotating clockwise. The patient was seen biweekly initially, and then monthly for five months. During that time, the lingual power chain was replaced at each visit and the sectional arch wire was trimmed as the translation allowed for additional arch wire to stick outside the band in a manner uncomfortable to the patient. Total treatment time was 26 weeks. Final treatment was completed with splinted crowns on the mini implants to the molar after translation. Splinting allowed for the patient not to need a retainer, which she stated she would not wear if provided. Total treatment time was five months. X-ray analysis shows good osteoblastic activity behind the translating molar with no shortening of the root during movement. Tissue remains very healthy throughout, and the patient was provided a Waterpik to aid in cleaning since age did not allow her to do a thorough job with manual means. Patient 4 (Fig. 9) This 15-year-old female presents for traditional orthodon-tic therapy while missing a lower left first molar. A mini implant to be removed later from Park Dental Research 2.0x11mm was placed into the divergent space between premolars to provide the anchorage needed to move both molars mesially. Direct connection of the implant to the premolars with composite allowed initial support to allow some bone growth onto the implant. The implant was peri-odically luxated to make sure that final osseointegration would not occur and allow removal. This allowed a larger than normal temporary anchorage device to be used since premature loss of normal TAD’s is common when directly loaded. Treatment time was 12 months to move the molars. 4.
