Abstract
- In maxillary canine retraction by means of sliding mechanics, we designed MAS(molar anchoring spring) to prevent anchorage loss and uncontrolled tipping of tooth movement and have applied it in clinical cases. The anchorage control of the maxillary first molar and type of tooth movement of the maxillary canine were studied in 31 subjects. The measurements were made on cephalograms, orthopantomograms and dental casts. The obtained results were as follows. 1. In case of the maxillary first molar, there was a little sagittal anchorage loss, but there was no vertical & transverse anchorage loss. 2. In case of the maxillary canine, there was distal tipping movement and also there was a little intrusion tendency.
