The second method is used when
there is no eruption force left or the
tooth does not lie in a favorable direction
and orthodontic force is required
to move the impacted tooth away
from the roots of the adjacent teeth
and bring it to the proper position.
After sufficient space has been created,
surgical exposure is performed
and the attachment is placed. Light
orthodontic force (not to exceed 60 g
or 2 oz) is then applied to move the
tooth to the desired position by various
orthodontic techniques
