Lower arch missing lower 2nd premolars
Hemisection lower E – distal half – Old schoolAllow mesial drift of 6s, L4s do not distally tip, important in class 2 casesUse mesial aspect for anchorage if ankylosedRemove remainingTADs 30% failure in the mandible in CaucasianHerbstMini-plates – very evasiveBut hemisection is simpleAfter extrusion of impacted tooth, need for gingivectomy

Sometimes effort is not equal the benefit so always evaluate your benefitAlways assess your outcome and see if technology you invested in worth itOrthodontists are Dentists and should do some gingival contouring and temporaries ..etcAlways match arch before and after treatment and maintain your arch formFuture is Hybrid Therapy … using strength of both aligners and fixed braces
