Treatment of an impacted maxillary central incisor poses a unique challenge to the orthodontist because of its position within the esthetic zone, requiring careful management of the soft tissues and an effective biomechanical setup for alignment. This article describes a novel method of extending an extrusion wire from cross tubes attached on the base archwire for forced eruption of impacted central incisors. The effectiveness and versatility of this method are demonstrated with 2 patients. 

An efficient biomechanical approach for the management of an impacted maxillary central incisor.

Our previous understanding of V-bend mechanics is primarily from two-dimensional (2D) analysis of archwire bracket interactions in the second order. These analyses do not take into consideration the three-dimensional (3D) nature of orthodontic appliances involving the third order.
