Anterior torque correction with bracketless fixed orthodontics.

and critical procedures performed during the finishing phase of orthodontic treatment.1 Proper torque positions the root in a physiological perio­ dontal situation because it ensures both appropriate occlusal­force distribution and adequate thickness of the vestibular cortical plate. In a case where gingival recession is combined with significant torque abnormality, can torque correction also in ­ duce an improvement of the periodontal lesion? This article addresses that question with a perio­ dontal application of a lingual beta titanium spring,2,3 using bracketless fixed orthodontics.3
