Hello all,
I have an case in treatment, she is now approx 16-17 years old, she has Nickel allergy, missing 17, 32, and 42, peg 22. I informed her about Nickel allergy requires oxidation for her to become reactive but she still wants to limit any use of SS appliances (she hasn't reacted to stainless steel k-ties), I replaced 18 for 17. Upper 4s extracted. These are the things I want to achieve but having a difficult time figuring out how and if I can do it:
1) Cl II canine with only 1mm to distalize canine, not enough space to make them Cl I
2) Narrow transverse in area of Upper 5's and Upper 6s
3) Rotated 12 - distal out
4) Creating space for 22 build up
5) Some anterior OJ 2-3mm
6) rotated 36 distal in and rotated 37 mesial in
I'm considering:
-TMA Horseshoe arch for expansion on upper and TMA LLHA to derotate LL6 - but don't have a place to attach it, do they have bondable hinge caps?
-Distalizing U3s by 1mm with rigid extensions on the buccal and buttons on the lingual
-V bend b/t 11 and 12 in the center (G VI) to help with rotation of 12, 11 may be slightly rotated mesial out
-Overaly wire or rectangular wire to correct 37 position after 36 corrected
I'm a bit stuck and confused, she is not an easy patient to work on too. A bit sensitive and tiny tiny mouth with limited opening.
