How to Handle Mobility or Recession during Orthodontic Treatment
I. Introduction
Dr. Amanda from StraightSmile Solutions, let’s delve into the nuances of orthodontic challenges, specifically addressing concerns related to tooth mobility during Invisalign or clear aligner treatments, applicable to bar treatments. If you find yourself grappling with such issues, worry not! When doctors contact me about these cases, I often play detective, offering guidance based on crucial information. Before our consultation, I typically request a panoramic X-ray (PA), probing depths, and previous records. Tracking, progress intraoral photos, and a CBCT sagittal slice also top the checklist. Until we assess these, I recommend refraining from progressing with aligners. My goal is to decipher whether the issue stems from rapid movement or excessive forward shifts.
II. Initial Steps Before Diagnosis

VIII. Conclusion
Addressing issues of mobility or recession during Invisalign or clear aligner treatment, and similarly for Bar’s treatment, requires a thorough diagnostic approach. When doctors encounter such challenges, gathering essential information is crucial before proceeding. This step involves obtaining a periapical X-ray or CBCT, probing depths, and historical records. Comprehensive tracking photos and progress intraoral photos with articulation marks are indispensable. Additionally, a sagittal slice X-ray or CBCT can provide valuable insights. Prioritize understanding the rate of tooth movement; favoring slow, incremental adjustments over rapid shifts is vital for long-term success. If complications arise, consider temporarily removing the tooth from occlusion. Remember, collaborating with experts and avoiding blind reliance on technicians is key to optimizing treatment plans and ensuring optimal patient outcomes. Remember, a cautious, informed approach is paramount in achieving the desired results.

The Orthodontic Implications of Premolar Root Agenesis in Panoramic X-rays

Taking a panoramic X-ray before starting work on new treatment plans is integral; just one reason is that this can give you a clear insight into the symmetry of your the roots. This can help you determine the most appropriate treatment plan – and understand the implications on orthodontics associated with the asymmetry.
What is Premolar Root Agenesis?
Premolar root agenesis occurs when one of the permanent premolars has not fully formed, either due to slow or arrested tooth growth, meaning that there is very little in the way of root growth (or none at all). In very young patients, there is the possibility that a slowly developing permanent tooth may catch up eventually. However, in older patients with fully erupted 4s, 5s, 7s, and one undeveloped premolar tooth, this will typically be a premolar root agenesis.
Orthodontics Treatment Plan Options for Premolar Root Agenesis
If you have a premolar root agenesis patient to create a treatment plan for, there are a few options. You could have a skilled oral surgeon pull the undeveloped tooth out, or you could leave it stacked with both the baby and the underdeveloped tooth.
However, if you leave it stacked, you likely won’t be able to move the teeth in that area through orthodontics, and if you attempt to move teeth on the other side, you’ll likely want to avoid braces and use clear aligners with a locked area instead. In line with this, delicately extracting the tooth will often be the preferred treatment plan.
Before you extract, it is often worthwhile to delay the treatment plan for a while to ensure that the tooth is no longer developing. However, this will delay the start of orthodontics work.
We strongly recommend consulting with a radiologist and an oral surgeon before starting on premolar root agenesis treatment plans, to find the most appropriate approach for a patient.

Bracket Repositioning: How Straight Smile Solutions Can Help

In some cases, you might find that your patients need their brackets repositioned, and knowing how to go about this isn’t always easy. After all, there are several ways you can look at bracket repositioning, and knowing the difference is vital. Luckily, as your professional orthodontics consultancy team, we here at Straight Smile Solutions can help.
Tackling Bracket Repositioning in Orthodontics
There are three main ways you can approach bracket repositioning cases: tip, vertical, and occlusal views. You’ll need to first take a progress x-ray, which allows you to look at the root positioning; ideally, you want to make sure these are all parallel. Always consider that distortions are possible, so check any potential problems clinically.
When checking vertical cases, you need to consider factors such as gum line and the bite, as well as symmetry (especially in the upper 2s or 7 and 10).
Meanwhile, for occlusal cases, you’ll need to consider the upper and lower arches (taking a photo at 90 degrees to the occlusal plane helps significantly) and the current positioning of the teeth to see whether repositioning or rotation are needed.
Of course, if you are trying to reposition on a very minor case, this may not make a significant amount of difference in the final results (and could have aesthetic implications for the patient). As such, you may want to leave and monitor these cases, depending on the patient’s preference. However, more significant cases with root positioning issues will need to be addressed as soon as possible.
All of these factors are important to keep in mind when considering bracket repositioning; however, since this can be a lot to think about and consider (and getting the bracket repositioning wrong can have significant consequences for the progress of a treatment plan), our experts here at Straight Smile Solutions can help. Indeed, as orthodontics experts, we can help you determine the most accurate approach for your own cases.

When tackling orthodontics cases, there’s a good chance you’ll occasionally come across a trickier situation, and knowing how to create the right treatment plan for these can sometimes be tough. One such example is for patients who have impacted canines – but can you leave impacted canines, or should these be addressed first?
Can I Leave Impacted Canines in Orthodontic Cases?
In some cases, it can be obvious that an impacted canine will cause problems during an orthodontic treatment plan. As such, in situations where impacted canines are likely to cause damage to the surrounding teeth during ortho treatment, you will need to address the impacted canines first. This is most common when canines have erupted near to the roots of other teeth.
However, even if you think it might be possible, you should always get professional advice before you agree to do orthodontics for an impacted canines client. Indeed, if something should go wrong because the teeth haven’t been removed, you’ll be liable.
Even if the impacted canines seem high and low risk, always send the CBDT to a dental radiologist or OS first. In the referral form, ask the specialist whether it would be okay to do an orthodontic treatment plan while leaving the affected teeth impacted. The specialist should then let you know whether there is any risk with such cases; make sure you get this in writing to cover yourself, just in case. Also, make sure there is a section relating to this for the informed consent form to cover your business.
