Yes, teeth can be rotated. One method uses auxiliaries like buttons and elastics.
How Tooth Rotation Works
Orthodontists can use various techniques to correct rotated teeth. One such technique involves:
- Buttons and Elastics: A button is attached to the tooth needing rotation. Another button is attached to a stable "anchor" tooth. Elastics connect the buttons, applying gentle force to rotate the tooth. The goal is to rotate the problem tooth without moving the anchor tooth. (29-Aug-2024)
This method aims for rotational correction without unwanted movement of adjacent teeth.
